A study of female college students living in dormitories found that 35 percent of the students gained at least 8 pounds between their freshman year and their junior year. In contrast, young women who lived at home and went directly from high school to the workplace averaged a 1 pound weight gain in their first year of work.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions can most logically be drawn?
A. College dorms and cafeterias provide a wide array of choices to students, ranging from healthy meals of vegetables, fruit, and protein to high-calorie snacks such as pizzas and shakes.
B. Living away at college is more stressful than living at home, and stress leads to overeating.
C. With no parental controls and nutritional guidance, freshman women are free to make unhealthy choices and indulge in more alcohol and high-calorie fast food.
D. Studies have shown that more male freshman students than female freshman students gain weight in their first year of college.
E. Young women who worry about weight gain in college are more likely to suffer from such eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia.

Why cannot B be equally correct? There are a lot of unknowns in option C too such as alcohol and high-calorie fast food. There is no mention of these in the stimulus.
