Electric bug zappers, which work by attracting insects to light, are a very effective means of ridding an area of flying insects. Despite this, most pest control experts now advise against their use, recommending instead such remedies as insect-eating birds or insecticide sprays.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to account for the pest control experts’ recommendation?
(A) Insect-eating birds will take up residence in any insect-rich area if they are provided with nesting boxes, food, and water.
(B) Bug zappers are less effective against mosquitoes, which are among the more harmful insects, than they are against other harmful insects.
(C) Bug zappers use more electricity but provide less light than do most standard outdoor light sources.
(D) Bug zappers kill many more beneficial insects and fewer harmful insects than do insect-eating birds and insecticide sprays.
(E) Developers of certain new insecticide sprays claim that their products contain no chemicals that are harmful to humans, birds, or pets.

(A) Insect-eating birds will take up residence in any insect-rich area if they are provided with nesting boxes, food, and water.( Does not help)
(B) Bug zappers are less effective against mosquitoes, which are among the more harmful insects, than they are against other harmful insects.( may not be effective for mosquitoes but effective against other insects)
(C) Bug zappers use more electricity but provide less light than do most standard outdoor light sources.(doesn't help)
(D) Bug zappers kill many more beneficial insects and fewer harmful insects than do insect-eating birds and insecticide sprays.( Yes , it gives us the reason to use other methods)
(E) Developers of certain new insecticide sprays claim that their products contain no chemicals that are harmful to humans, birds, or pets.( In favour of insecticide sprays)
Will go with choice D
Thanks

Analysis of the argument :
Pest control expert recommends the use of alternatives to electric bug zappers, we have to select the option choice which best supports why people should start using alternatives
(A) Insect-eating birds will take up residence in any insect-rich area if they are provided with nesting boxes, food, and water. Only talks about one of the mentioned suggestion, so this is out
(B) Bug zappers are less effective against mosquitoes, which are among the more harmful insects than they are against other harmful insects. We are not told how electric bug zappers are used, so just because it has one limitation does not gives us good enough reason to switch, so unless we know how they are used, this would be a shot in the dark
(C) Bug zappers use more electricity but provide less light than do most standard outdoor light sources. [/b] Function of bug zapper is not to act as light sources [/b]
(D) Bug zappers kill many more beneficial insects and fewer harmful insects than do insect-eating birds and insecticide sprays. This points out the exact flaw with the zappers and gives us good enough incentive to switch to alternatives, hence the answer
(E) Developers of certain new insecticide sprays claim that their products contain no chemicals that are harmful to humans, birds, or pets Not good enough reasons unless we have some harmful exposure to chemicals using the electrical bug zappers
