Share

Calendar makers and someone watching  night sky are often reffered to as 'observers' and not scrutinizers. Scrutinizer means someone observing with very great care, which is not needed here. Out of 'concede' and 'agree' , concede matches perfectly with the context of statement as condede means - admint (to a wrongdoing) . Hence , option D.
