But then what laid the egg?”（先有鸡还是先有蛋？这可能是最常被引用的悖论之一——鸡是从蛋里孵出来的，所以先有蛋，对吧？那么是什么下了蛋呢？）提出一种悖论的事实，结合常识可知，这两种观点相互矛盾。下文“That’s exactly what a paradox is—a problem that seemingly has no definitive solution and can’t be logically solved.”（这正是悖论的含义——一个似乎没有确定的解决方案，也不能用逻辑解决的问题。）可推知，空格处内容为这两种观点的评价。结合选项A项“The two ideas seem contradictory.”（这两种观点似乎相互矛盾。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选A项。
