During volcanic eruptions, it has been observed that certain types of rocks are ejected into the atmosphere, and subsequently, lightning storms occur in the vicinity of the eruption. Scientists have proposed a hypothesis that the presence of specific minerals in these rocks is responsible for triggering lightning strikes.
Which of the following, if discovered to be true, most seriously undermines the hypothesis?
A) Lightning storms continue to occur in the vicinity of volcanic eruptions even after the ejected rocks have dispersed and are no longer present in the atmosphere.
B) Lightning mostly occurs only under certain atmospheric conditions, indicating that the presence of minerals might not fully explain their occurrence.
C) The lightning strikes that occur near volcanic eruptions tend to be more powerful than lightning strikes triggered by other natural phenomena.
D) Other geologic events, such as earthquakes or landslides, also result in the formation of lightning storms with similar frequency.
E) The total number of lightning strikes during a volcanic eruption is significantly higher than during any other type of atmospheric disturbance.

I think the correct answer is A, as it's the one which is resonating with the passage and not the D.
If D is the correct answer please clarify how.
