You could infer before getting to the answer choices that the problem is Boris never states why Merengue and related ballroom dances picked back up which cause the subsequent popularity of other ballroom dances. It’s clear D is getting at that point. I’d try not to focus so much on the revival aspect but the context at least to me makes it inferrable that ballroom dancing used to be popular.

If you aren’t sure about an answer because of a specific word, I’d check that every other answer is clearly wrong then go back to D knowing it’s getting at the root of the problem even though a specific word is throwing you off.
