In response to expressions of public concern, the spokesperson for a manufacturer of insecticides asserts that there is no evidence that any of their products causes health problems in human beings when used in the recommended way. This testimony, if true, might be a substantial reason for believing that the recommended uses of insecticides were harmless to humans, if which of the following were also true?
(A) Evidence of the harmful effects of insecticides would almost certainly have been discovered by now.
(B) The insecticides in question meet all of the recently adopted industry standards for safety.
(C) No increased incidence of birth defects has been traced to the use of these insecticides.
(D) The vast majority of users of these insecticides are federal agencies, and these agencies carefully monitor the application of these insecticides.
(E) The spokesperson for the insecticide manufacturer is telling the truth.

Googled and found this explanation: "If the conclusion is that there are no health problems WHEN USED IN THE RECOMMENDED WAY, you don't need to prove anything about the product when used in the non-recommended way. " Hence D is irrelevant.

This is an assumption question.
A. If there's not the slightest of evidence of harmful effects on humans then the spokesperson is telling the truth.
Otherwise how can we even claim that the insecticides have harmful effects?
