GMATNinja how do we reject option E in Question 3? Option E states "Asserted that rifts usually occur along the lines of sutures"

If we look at the 1st line of the 1st para in the passage, it states "Geologists Harris and Gass hypothesized that the Red Sea rift developed along the line of a suture"

Thanks in Advance.

Hey,

I can't understand the logical connection between conclusion and evidence in the first paragraph. Why different rocks on both sides show that rift developed along the suture?

Please tell me if my rationale is correct.

Let's say we have the following structure:

Rock A..... Suture (basically deep hole in the crust as shown in the link below)..... Rock B

This is an evidence because it shows that there is no continuity of rocks, thus there is a suture. If there was no suture it would be:

Rock A......... Rock A -> No deep hole, thus no reason for rocks to differ

In option E its written that rifts USUALLY occur , but it is not true as per the passage as it is only talking about the red sea rift
