The answer to your question would be that a statement in a story that seems contradictory but actually presents a deeper truth is the following one: Paradox. That is, your answer would be C.

A paradox is a statement that appears to be self-contradictory, but which might include a latent truth. Usually, it is used to make the reader think in an innovative way. For instance, take the sentence "I am nobody". The speaker is claiming that is nobody, but at the same time just because he/she is saying that, he is somebody. He/she is the speaker utttering that statement.

Alex Ar [27]

The unstated assumption in this argument is "don´t eat meat" and if you do it "try to make it in small quantities".

Explanation: having a close look at the sentences, this is what is implicitly assumed-"eating large quantities of red meat is unhealthy" (do not consume meat, it can be harmfull for your health); in fact to be truly healthy, a vegetarian diet is preferable to one that includes meat. (if you really want to be healthy and follow a healthy diet, just concume veggies and get rid of meat).
