Garbage dumps do not harm wildlife. Evidence is furnished by the Masai-Mara reserve in Kenya, where baboons that use the garbage dumps on the reserve as a food source mature faster and have more offspring than do baboons on the reserve that do not scavenge on garbage.
Each of the following statements, if true, casts doubt on the argument EXCEPT:
A) The baboons that feed on the garbage dump are of a different species from those that do not.
B) The life expectancy of baboons that eat garbage is significantly lower than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.
C) The cholesterol level of garbage-eating baboons is dangerously higher than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.
D) The population of hyenas that live near unregulated garbage landfills north of the reserve has doubled in the last two years.
E) The rate of birth defects for the baboon population on the reserve has doubled since the first landfills were opened.
Each of the following statements, if true, casts doubt on the argument EXCEPT:
A) The baboons that feed on the garbage dump are of a different species from those that do not.
B) The life expectancy of baboons that eat garbage is significantly lower than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.
C) The cholesterol level of garbage-eating baboons is dangerously higher than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.
D) The population of hyenas that live near unregulated garbage landfills north of the reserve has doubled in the last two years.
E) The rate of birth defects for the baboon population on the reserve has doubled since the first landfills were opened.

Question Type: Weaken Except
Main Point: Baboons --> Plastic --> More offspring
Assumption: Plastic is the cause for more offspring
We have to find an option that does not weaken the argument.
A) The baboons that feed on the garbage dump are of a different species from those that do not. - Weakens. Not representative.
B) The life expectancy of baboons that eat garbage is significantly lower than that of baboons that do not eat garbage. - Weakens. Attacks life expectancy.
C) The cholesterol level of garbage-eating baboons is dangerously higher than that of baboons that do not eat garbage. - Weakens. Attacks health of baboons.
D) The population of hyenas that live near unregulated garbage landfills north of the reserve has doubled in the last two years. - Correct. Does not do anything to the argument.
E) The rate of birth defects for the baboon population on the reserve has doubled since the first landfills were opened. - Weakens. Attacks health of offsprings.
