Solution

The correct option is E is more controversial than the term "addiction"
The correct answer for this would be option E, dependence is a more controversial term than addiction. The author has emphasized the imprecise and fashionable rhetoric used for the subject of drug addiction, which doesn't clearly imply the same connotation to addiction. The statements of options A,B,C and D are wrong in context of the passage, and thus, are incorrect.
