Insectivorous plants, which unlike other plants have the ability to trap and digest insects, can thrive in soils that are too poor in minerals to support noninsectivorous plants. Yet the mineral requirements of insectivorous plants are not noticeably different from the mineral requirements of noninsectivorous plants.
The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of the following hypotheses?
(A) The insects that insectivorous plants trap and digest are especially abundant where the soil is poor in minerals.
(B) Insectivorous plants thrive only in soils that are too poor in minerals to support noninsectivorous plants.
(C) The types of minerals required by noninsectivorous plants are more likely than are the types of minerals required by insectivorous plants to be found in soils poor in minerals.
(D) The number of different environments in which insectivorous plants thrive is greater than the number of different environments in which noninsectivorous plants thrive.
(E) Insectivorous plants can get some of the minerals they require from the insects they trap and digest

I got some punctuation mark error because of that I got wrong answer.
Please, just have a look on bolded part and compare it with question stem.

I don't think such error occurs in GMAT.
