Can you elborate more on the last sentence? Why do you use the word 'can' that it can be the case that overuse is not the cause for outbreak? In which case can it not be the case? Also pls clarify in general why can that be a case MartyTargetTestPrep
The support for the conclusion is the following:MartyTargetTestPrep
Notice that the point of the argument is not that use of antibiotics is not connected to development of drug-resistant strains of salmonella.
Rather, the point of the argument is that OVERUSE of antibiotics is not to blame for this particular outbreak in this particular country.
That conclusion is supported by the facts that patients in the country where the outbreak occurred cannot obtain antibiotics to treat illness without a prescription and that the country’s doctors prescribe antibiotics less readily than do doctors in any other European country. After all, those facts are reasons to believe that antibiotics have not been overused in the country.
So, the argument still works even if (D) is true, because it can be the case that overuse of antibiotics is not the cause of the outbreak even if, as (D) indicates, use of antibiotics is connected to development of drug-resistant strains.

patients in the country where the outbreak occurred cannot obtain antibiotics to treat illness without a prescription, and the country’s doctors prescribe antibiotics less readily than do doctors in any other European country.
Notice that that information supports the idea that "overuse of antibiotics" DOES NOT OCCUR in the the country in question.
So, regardless of what's indicated by (D) about the connection between antibiotic use and the presence of drug-resistant strains of bacteria, it still makes sense to conclude that "overuse of antibiotics" is not to blame for the severtiy of the oubreak. After all, if "overuse of antibiotics" does not occur in the country in question, then no matter how connected the use of antibiotics is to the presence of drug-resistant strains, "overuse of antibiotics" is not to blame for the severity of the outbreak.
So, the point of using "can" in my previous explanation is to communicate that it "can" be the case that "OVERUSE of antibiotics" is not to blame for the severity of this particular outbreak in this particular country even if, in general, it is the case that, as (D) indicates, USE of antibiotics is connected the presence of drug-resistant strains of bacteria.
