Part A:
I believe your best answer A. "Big Year" birders compete for honor, love and record-setting.
1) honor and record-setting: As stated, 'most people who want to break such a record...'
2) love: "... most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to <em>doing something you love.</em>" (emphasize added)
Part B:
F. Most birders <em>take pride </em>in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. (emphasizes added).
"Most birders take great pride in their reputations and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating."
H. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love
"... the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year."

Ani analyses how "DeLuca's haphazard patchwork of reasoning and evidence leaves the reader wondering whether he believes his own claim". According to Ani he quotes not only supporters of the Nobel price committee but also detractors. He includes a sampling of Dylan's lyrics and leaves them to speak for themselves.
The evidence (quotes) from the article that best supports Ani's evaluation are:
1. "And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing."
We could interpret this quote as contradictory, it is not necessarily for or against Dylan's Nobel Price. You could say he is confusing his readers, he seems to be against the sung lyrics and for the published ones.
2. "On one end of Dylan's songwriting spectrum is the vengeful, resolute, and timeless 'Masters Of War' . . . . It’s high dudgeon at its finest: ‘Let me ask you one question: Is your money that good? / Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?"
Ani also says that he does a sampling of the lyrics and allows them to speak for themselves. This excerpt shows part of a lyric from the song "Masters of War". He is not necessarily saying its a "good" or "bad" lyric, he describes it as: "vengeful, resolute, and timeless" the reader must decide about its quality or if it is the kind of work that deserves a Nobel Price.
