The process called apoptosis is also known as "programmed cell death": under certain conditions, cells in the body have possibility of "killing" themselves. For example, apoptosis is observed in the suicide of brain neurons following a stroke. Brain neurons that were damaged by the stroke are prone to become
cancerous. Such damaged brain neurons " kill" themselves in the apoptosis process.
Which of the following can be inferred from the information given above?
A. Apoptosis may help avoid damage to an organ that might be caused by some of the organ cells.
B. Apoptosis happens whenever there is a chance that cells may become cancerous, even if those cells were not severely damaged.
C. Stroke cannot be the cause of cell death, unless it is accompanied by apoptosis.
D. Brain neurons are not the only cells in the body that may undergo apoptosis, but so far they are the only evidence for it.
E. Damage of cells provoked by a stroke is the major contributor to programmed cell death.

cant say this from argument
B. Apoptosis happens whenever there is a chance that cells may become cancerous, even if those cells were not severely damaged. Incorrect
cant say this, only know damaged cells by stroke are more likely to become cancerous
C. Stroke cannot be the cause of cell death, unless it is accompanied by apoptosis. Incorrect
only know about damaged cells, some cells can be died by stroke
D. Brain neurons are not the only cells in the body that may undergo apoptosis, but so far they are the only evidence for it. Correct
can say this, Brain neurons are the only example in the argument
E. Damage of cells provoked by a stroke is the major contributor to programmed cell death. Incorrect
there can be other process, dont know
