I tried to see the previous question on this is the discussion board and do not understand. I get how d is right but I don't not see a difference except in placement for b to be wrong.

Let's break down both of them, and the initial argument.
The initial argument tells us that
X -> Y
Since very Y, then very X
B tells us
If X then Y
Since Y therefore X
D tells us
If X then Y
Since Extremely Y, then extremely X
Both commit the same illegal reversal, but only D commits the error of thinking that an extreme case of one must also be an extreme case of the other. This is a pretty uncommon thing, but the argument had two flaws, D matched both, but B only matched one
