In this question, answer choices B and D give equally likely explanations for an event. I selected B but thought it was odd that D could be just as likely depending give the principles of supply and demand.

My question is: in a situation like this where it appears that each answer choice "answers the question" is it generally safe to strike both answer choices as incorrect?

The prices themselves don't indicate anything directly about supply and demand, at least not nearly as much as they indicate something about the prices themselves (reflected in answer A). In general, if two answer choices look equally appealing you should look at the other choices to see if one of the remaining choices is better than the two that appear equally appealing.
