I will go with E . E gives example of difference between human behavior and rats. What is the OA?

Crick

The answer should be (E).

The question says that the analogy between humans and rats is simplistic, because of factors like human adaptability and cultural behavior that determine the behavior of humans (and not rats).

(A): Testing new products on rats has no relation to the behavior they exhibit in different conditions. Incorrect.
(B): We cannot determine the response of rats or humans by the behavior of rats in crowded human conditions. Incorrect.
(C): Even if rats exhibit unnatural behavior in crowded conditions, we must have some way of comparing this with what humans do in such conditions to draw a meaningful inference. This information is not provided so we cannot make the comparison. Incorrect.
(D): If rats exhibit not random violence but a new, different social order then this would oppose the author's argument - rats would seem to be exhibiting adaptability, similar to what humans do. It would then become difficult to distinguish between the two. Incorrect.
(E): CORRECT. If there is little violent behavior in some crowded human societies, and higher violent behavior in some sparsely populated communities, it means that human behavior is changing according to adaptation. This is not the behavior exhibited by mice - which seem to consistently exhibit violent behavior in conditions of extreme overcrowding. Therefore this choice elucidates the difference between human and rat behavior.

In inference questions we are looking for something that restates the conclusion or supports the evidence given above. Here the evidence is given in opposition of a link between overcrowding and anti-social behavior. Which means density of population does not have a causal relationship to antisocial behavior.

Answer choice E states that there is no relationship between crowding and antisocial behavior. Hence E is correct.

E should be the asnswer becasue that the only option supports the conclusion
