Question 13.

Let us inspect the individual options:

Option A: If true, this statement could be antithetical to the point put forth in the concluding paragraph: the author believes that an individualistic ideology isn't the right way forward; instead, we need to deal with such crises collectively. Thus, this is a conflicting viewpoint and thereby, the correct answer. 

Option B: If true, aligns with the author's point in the first paragraph: {...It seems to me that there is a much bigger gap between the world of finance and that of the general public and that there is a need to narrow that gap, if the financial industry is not to be a kind of priesthood, administering to its own mysteries and feared and resented by the rest of us...} 

Options C and D: If true, this is in tune with the author's claim {made in the final segment} about dealing with such crises together. 

Hence, of the given statements, Options A deviates from the author's argument and thus, is the correct answer.
