This question is a negative lead question, so the correct response is the only response option that CANNOT be validly concluded. Option C, that green cards are the only work authorization documents that expire after 10 years, is invalid because it assumes from the information that all green cards are authorization documents that expire after 10 years and that green cards are the ONLY work authorization documents that expire after 10 years.
The fourth sentence states that all green card applicants must apply in person. Therefore, option A, that an application that does not require applicants to apply in person cannot be a green card application, is correct. Option B, that an application for a replacement green card cannot be made more than six months in advance of expiration, is also valid and is based on the information in the third sentence. The second sentence establishes that green cards have an expiration date, so option D is also correct. The last sentence says that sometimes it takes a year to receive a new green card, so option E is valid as well.
