Re: Alex: Shrimp farming results in damage to the environment, because [#permalink]
Alex avers that the farmers abandon the farms.
Jolene claims that the owners try to make their farms more productive.
These two arguments shows a disagreement (about responsibility)
therefore E is the answer.

IMO B .

Because "quick ,easy profit" doesn't go together with "productive for many years" . Basically it's the tenure of farming that is the bone of contention .

Alex: Shrimp farming results in damage to the environment, because [#permalink]
ANS B is correct
Reasoning: The last phrase of Alex's quote says that shrimp farms make a quick easy profit
Jolene disagrees to this part by quoting the time consuming, unsustainable and costly nature of shrimp farms.
