Argument:
consume FIST OIL => prevent aging-related illness
consume FISH => increase MENTAL FUNCTIONING
Conclusion: EAT FISH frequently will prevent risk of DEMENTIA
There is no connection between DEMENTIA & MENTAL FUNCTIONING. So, supporting evidence should connect these two.
Only C applied. C is correct
A. Like heart disease, dementia is an aging-related illnesses, the symptoms of which begin to appear after age 50 => applied to FISH OIL, not FISH. irrelevant
B. To gain the benefits associated with fish-oil intake, it is best to take fish-oil capsules => not related to the DEMENTIA
D. Eating fish more then 4 times a week has been shown to lead to a decrease in mental functioning => other side effect of eating too much FISH, but not related to the conclusion here.
E. Fish oil has anti-inflammatory properties , which prevents Alzheimer`s-related build up of amyloid plaques in the brain => FISH OIL, not FISH => irrelevant

this question requires test takers to know ENglish vocabularies, "inflammatory" is not related to mental health. Besides, E fails to give any information that can connect alzheimer with aging illnesses.
