Although aspirin has been proven to eliminate moderate fever associated with some illnesses, many doctors no longer routinely recommend its use for this purpose. A moderate fever stimulates the activity of the body’s disease-fighting white blood cells and also inhibits the growth of many strains of disease-causing bacteria.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them ?
(A) Aspirin, an effective painkiller, alleviates the pain and discomfort of many illnesses. - Out of scope.
(B) Aspirin can prolong a patient’s illness by eliminating moderate fever helpful in fighting some diseases. - ok
(C) Aspirin inhibits the growth of white blood cells (ok), which are necessary for fighting some illnesses (the 2nd part is wrong as Fever is responsible for inhibiting the growth of many strains of disease-causing bacteria and not white blood cells).
(D) The more white blood cells a patient’s body produces, the less severe the patient’s illness will be. - out of scope.
(E) The focus of modern medicine is on inhibiting the growth of disease-causing bacteria within the body. - out of scope.

The passage highlights two key points:
1. Aspirin eliminates moderate fever.
2. Moderate fever benefits the body's fight against illness by:
- Stimulating white blood cells.
- Inhibiting the growth of some bacteria.
(A) Aspirin, an effective painkiller, alleviates the pain and discomfort of many illnesses.
Pain relief is a benefit of aspirin, but it's not directly related to the passage's discussion about fever and fighting illness.
(B) Aspirin can prolong a patient’s illness by eliminating moderate fever helpful in fighting some diseases.
This conclusion is strongly supported by the passage. Since aspirin eliminates fever and fever helps fight illness, aspirin use could potentially prolong illness.
(C) Aspirin inhibit the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses.
The passage doesn't say aspirin inhibits white blood cells, only that fever stimulates them.
(D) Aspirin inhibit the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses.
The passage suggests a connection between fever and white blood cell activity, but it doesn't establish a direct proportion (more = less severe).
(E) The focus of modern medicine is on inhibiting the growth of disease-causing bacteria within the body.
The passage focuses on the specific benefits of moderate fever, not the general approach of modern medicine.

If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them ?
(C) Aspirin inhibits the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses
I understand that "which are necessary" makes it wrong as nowhere in the argument give that WBC are necessary.
But I want to understand why "Aspirin inhibits the growth of white blood cells" is incorrect.
According to passage, if fever is present, extra WBC production (100 to 200) and if moderate fever is removed, no extra production of WBC (100)
My understanding is that if "inhibit" means stop production, we can infer that once moderate fever is eliminated, Aspirin leads to no fever and hence no extra WBC production. why C is incorrect?
In this scenerio "inhibit" means slow down or stop the production, what do you think?
