Caffeine is a chemical compound that stimulates the human central nervous system. Research into the effects of caffeine has been performed by a myriad of companies from different places around the world, and new evidence is published every few months. High caffeine intakes cause nervousness and insomnia in some subjects while drowsiness and repose are experienced by others. Furthermore, some people report a laxative effect while in others it can result in constipation.
Which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by the information above?
(A) Since there is not enough consistency with regards to results, research of such a chemical is not advantageous and should be discontinued.
(B) The individuality of human subjects creates difficulty when attempting to form a definitive judgement about the symptoms of caffeine.
(C) Caffeine does not affect the central nervous system in all people and, therefore, physiological symptoms can also vary.
(D) Caffeine can act as an addictive substance causing unpleasant side effects and harm to the human body's basic functions.
(E) To conduct more accurate research, examinations should be carried out on larger test groups.

The argument states that caffeine has been researched widely, and that it was shown to have varying side effects in different individuals.
(A) Since there is not enough consistency with regards to results, research of such a chemical is not advantageous and should be discontinued.
'Not advantageous' is a strong claim, and this tone is not used in this argument.
(B) The individuality of human subjects creates difficulty when attempting to form a definitive judgement about the symptoms of caffeine.
Correct answer.
(C) Caffeine does not affect the central nervous system in all people and, therefore, physiological symptoms can also vary.
We already know from the argument that caffeine stimulates the central nervous system. Just because caffeine is causing laxative feects & constipation in some people doesn't mean that their central nervous system is not getting affected. Eliminate.
(D) Caffeine can act as an addictive substance causing unpleasant side effects and harm to the human body's basic functions.
Out of scope.
(E) To conduct more accurate research, examinations should be carried out on larger test groups.
We don't know whether the research conducted so far is 'inaccurate.
Answer is B.
