I think it's not just token support, it's also having a understanding of certain concepts that allows you to arrive at new points like C, D, E, etc. But LLM's don't have an understanding of things, they are statistical models that predict what statistically is most likely following the input that you give it. But that that will always be based on already existing data that is fed into the model. It can produce "new" stuff only by combining the "old" stuff in new ways, but it can't "think" of something entirety conceptionally new, because it doesn't really "think".
