Not sure but A is my pick.

premise:
sleep -> number of sites bound decreases
hypothesis -> cululative binding of adenosine to large number of sites causes sleep

A:
sleep -> lowest adnosine -> but number of brain cells bound with adenosine large

if during sleep:
- number of sites bound decreases and
- number of brain cells bound with adenosine large


cumulative binding to adenosine may be causing sleep.


A seems to weaken the researcher`s hypothesis. It would only be the case if the researchers were analyzing hibernation in bears or vampires that sleep for hundreds of years :devil

Coffee does an amazing thing. It stops adenicine from binding to the cells so we can stay awake all night long cramming for our GMAT.

Straight (B)
