Alcohol consumption has been clearly linked to high blood pressure, which increases the likelihood of developing heart disease. Yet in a study of the effects of alcohol consumption, the incidence of heart disease was lower among participants who drank moderate quantities of alcohol every day than it was among participants identified as nondrinkers.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy in the information above?
(A) Because many people who do not drink alcohol are conscious of their health habits, they are likely to engage in regular exercise and to eat nutritionally well-balanced meals.
(B) Many of the participants identifies as nondrinkers were people who had been heavy drinkers but had stopped drinking alcohol prior to participating in the study.
(C) Some of the participants who drank moderate quantities of alcohol every day said that they occasionally drank large quantities of alcohol.
(D) Some of the participants who drank moderate quantities of alcohol every day had high blood pressure.
(E) The two groups of participants were similar to each other with respect to the participants’ age, sex, geographical origin, and economic background.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy in the information above?
Argument reasoning:
Alcohol consumption is directly linked to high blood pressure which increase likelihood of heart disease, we can not challenge this view of author.
Yet study shows opposite. Non drinkers are at high risk than people who drink moderate quantity of alcohol everyday.
In order to explain this discrepancy we need to answer why non drinkers are at high risk. From above reasoning we can expect that if the reason is related to alcohol then it will serve the purpose.
Best available option is B

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy in the information above?
(A) Because many people who do not drink alcohol are conscious of their health habits, they are likely to engage in regular exercise and to eat nutritionally well-balanced meals. - WRONG. Deepens the discrepancy.
(B) Many of the participants identifies as nondrinkers were people who had been heavy drinkers but had stopped drinking alcohol prior to participating in the study. - CORRECT. Although what 'many' stands for is ambiguous, this is the best among the available options.
(C) Some of the participants who drank moderate quantities of alcohol every day said that they occasionally drank large quantities of alcohol. - WRONG. What is the scale of 'some'? Considering best case also does not help resolve.
(D) Some of the participants who drank moderate quantities of alcohol every day had high blood pressure. - WRONG. Like C only. Considering best case also does not help resolve.
(E) The two groups of participants were similar to each other with respect to the participants’ age, sex, geographical origin, and economic background. - WRONG. Irrelevant. Neutral and does not help resolve anything.
