Which of the following conclusions can be most properly drawn from the data above?
(A) People tend to underestimate the risks of swimming in these lakes.
(B) Respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses occur at a higher rate as a result of swimming in either of these lakes than they do as a result of swimming in any other lake.
(C) Illnesses of kinds other than respiratory and gastrointestinal are not likely to be associated with swimming in either of these lakes.
(D) The association between swimming in these lakes and respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses is evidence of a causal relationship between them.
(E) A large percentage of the people who swim in these lakes are immune to the diseases that swimming may cause.

Kudos for the right answer and explanation
A is out of scope as we are not concerned by risk of swimming.
B We do not want comparison of consequence of swimming in two different lakes.
C We have to concern ourselves about the disease mentioned in he argument.
D correct we are given "rate of respiratory and gastrointestinal illness among people who had been swimming was 69.6 per 1,000 and gastrointestinal illness rate among those who had not been swimming was only 29.5 per 1,000. So it seems likely that folks who swam suffered from diseases because of swimming
E Well they are well deserved but this choice is no good.
