Explanation:

The underlined sentence "Microwaves have uses outside of the kitchen, too" comes after the description of microwaves' use in cooking food (in the kitchen). Then the following sentences talk about other uses like carrying cell phone signals, radar for speed and weather, etc. So it transitions from the kitchen use to other uses of microwaves. Option A is wrong as it's not about cooking illustration. Option B is wrong as no statistic is provided. Option C is wrong as it's not a counterargument.

Answer:

D. It transitions to a description of how microwaves are useful in other ways.
