Answer:

D. Schools should move away from standardized testing because tests often do more harm than good.

Explanation:

Claim D is focused on testing in schools and is, therefore, the narrowest of all.

Claim A seems to be focused on hydraulic fracturing and how harmless it is, yet it also mentions natural gas as an important byproduct.

Claim B is about inadequate zoo habitats for two different species of animals, so it cannot be considered the narrowest and most focused claim.

Claim C seems to be focused on cutting welfare programs, yet it also mentions the problem of homelessness among veterans. Not the narrowest claim either.
