B for me.

A--if a board is considering whether operation is needed, then there is a less chance that unnecessary oprations will be conducted. Out.
B--there are certain factors that may lead to surgery in one area, but not in other. this is a possible choice.
C--other than what is mentioned is out of scope.
D--what happens, or what is needed, after the opration is not in question. it is what should have been considered before the opration.
E--these are the key, but still don't explain why variation is there.
