New oil in the market, BUT dieters should be cautious (Advice/Position)
Pdt aprroved by govt, but several individuals experienced stomach issues. (Result of experiment/Premise)
A - First part seems ok, but second is completely incorrect. Out.
B - Yes, and Yes. Sounds Good. Keep
C - Second is not the conclusion. Out.
D - Second is supporting the first boldface. Out.
E - This was confusing at first, but there is no casual relationship. The author is asserting a position i.e. be cautious of the oil as it causes stomach distress. Out.
B is left standing. Correct Answer for me
