IMO E because the conclusion of scientists is that menopause is corelated to the size of ovaries and the number of eggs that are in ovaries. Option E goes into assuming that the number of eggs are limited and according to the stage and growth in size of ovaries menopause can be predicted. IMO A cannot be the answer because it talks about the assisted reproduction techniques which is not at all needed in the assumption of the researcher’s conclusion

Answer is C. Here Author’s (Physician) conclusion is about women’s decision on when to have children. Not at all anything about ovaries or eggs or fertility. So C is the only option which the author could assume for making his conclusion.

E seems the best but it still makes an assumption that the number of eggs is relevant to when to have kids. Can we make this type of assumption when solving ?

I think it’s E The author’s conclusion was Discovery of time of menopause (sooner or later ) will significantly impact women’s decision regarding when to conceive babies... Now if we really contemplate and comprehend that could only happen when they have assumed that menopause does have a significant effect on their ovaries, their eggs , their ability/caliber to conceive babies.....that makes complete sense...bcz if that were not the case , why would even women be concerned bout menopause... Now option E states exactly the same....every women is born with millions of eggs and they decrease during her lifetime, untill menopause,when only a 1000 or fewer are left... If we negate this... We will get something like... Women’s eggs do not dwindle/fall with time and even after menopause only 1000 or fewer eggs are not left, if that’s the case and women will have many eggs throughout their lifetime, why would they care? Ex ...A women is born with 5 M eggs.. Another with 3 M (Larger ovary and the smaller one) Now if their eggs will remain constant and menopause won’t affect it, i.e., no detrimental effect of menopause, they are good to go..... This negated choice does break the conclusion... Guys , enlighten me with your interpretation of ma rationale... It’s jus ma 2 cents P.s. not decrease could mean 2 things... Remain same or increase.. So there’s a chance their eggs will increase over time...
