Consuming gluten, a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grains, causes allergic reactions in some adults. Medical records indicate that the percentage of adults in our country who have seen a doctor for gluten allergies has increased significantly in the last four years. Either our adults have been exposed to more glutens, or they have developed a greater sensitivity to them.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The number of doctors specializing in nutrition in our country has not decreased over the past four years.
B. Adults who are allergic to gluten are no more likely than other adults to have allergies to other food ingredients.
C. Adults who have allergic reactions to gluten are not more likely to be see a doctor for treatment now than they were four years ago.
D. In our country, either more gluten has been introduced into foods artificially, or adults have eaten more food naturally containing gluten.
E. The percentage of the population in our country of adult age has not changed relative to four years ago.

Option Choice A is the correct answer for this.
A States that no of doctors hasn't decreased over the past 4 years. If the number of doctors decreased then the percent of adults who have seen a doctor will go up. This is one of the strong assumptions. If this is negated then the conclusion will break that it is just due to decrease of doctors the % has gone up and not due to adults exposure or greater sensitivity
