A recent study has revealed, through meticulous research, a link between the harmful hydrocarbons in air pollutants and the IQ test scores of children. The research involved measuring the quality of air that pregnant women breathed during the third trimester of pregnancy, and then following the children born from that pregnancy until an IQ test could be administered. Many external factors were taken into consideration, such as the mother's IQ and the family's home environment with regards to intellectual development. Health officials, having studied this information, plan to tackle the phenomenon by increasing public awareness on the matter through campaigns aimed at warning parents-to-be.
In the argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first associates a cause with an effect; the second demonstrates the reasoning behind the formation of such an association.
(B) The first is a relationship contradicted by the conclusion; the second is factual information that supports that conclusion.
(C) The first is the result of an analysis; the second weakens the possibility of doubt with regards to the accuracy of that analysis.
D) The first is a correlation between two entities; the second is evidence that directly strengthens the existence of that correlation.
(E) The first offers a logical connection between two factors; the second indicates a possible flaw in the credibility of that connection.

(A) The first associates a cause with an effect; the second demonstrates the reasoning behind the formation of such an association................1st boldface isn't a cause with an effect. 2nd isn't a reason.
(B) The first is a relationship contradicted by the conclusion; the second is factual information that supports that conclusion.....................The first boldface is a fact that is established in the argument through research.
(C) The first is the result of an analysis; the second weakens the possibility of doubt with regards to the accuracy of that analysis............this is correct
D) The first is a correlation between two entities; the second is evidence that directly strengthens the existence of that correlation............Though there is a correlation between two entities but this isn't the role of the first boldface.
(E) The first offers a logical connection between two factors; the second indicates a possible flaw in the credibility of that connection............2nd is not indicating a flaw in the connection.
OA should be C

(A) The first associates a cause with an effect; the second demonstrates the reasoning behind the formation of such an association.
a link between the harmful hydrocarbons in air pollutants and the IQ test scores of children is not a cause and effect.Many external factors were taken into consideration, this is not a reasoning for the association. Its more of a support to eliminate any doubts.
Bunuel
(B) The first is a relationship contradicted by the conclusion; the second is factual information that supports that conclusion.
There's no contradiction here.B is out.
Bunuel
(C) The first is the result of an analysis; the second weakens the possibility of doubt with regards to the accuracy of that analysis.
Perfectly written.First is the analysis. Second weakens the possibility of any doubt.
Bunuel
D) The first is a correlation between two entities; the second is evidence that directly strengthens the existence of that correlation
The second one is not an evidence. Be careful, they've played with the words.Bunuel
(E) The first offers a logical connection between two factors; the second indicates a possible flaw in the credibility of that connection.
The second does not indicate a flaw; it rather eliminates the flaw.IMO C
