This question tests the use of the subjunctive mood. Therefore, B is the correct answer.

Re: Some scientists are proposing that if the H5N1 [#permalink]
Anyone please tell explain why the usage of "are" is wrong.

And in the if part we have "does". than how we decided that " in than part subjunctive should be use and "be" would be use in "than" part only not in if part.

Thank you in adnce.
