Recent research has shown that giving pregnant women Pitocin to induce labor results in longer labors, more fetal distress, and more emergency Caesarean sections. Pitocin speeds up labor contractions, resulting in more pain for the woman and thus more need for epidurals and pain medications. These medications can cause the fetus's heart rate to drop, which in turn makes a Caesarean necessary. Many times, women are given Pitocin so that they deliver on the doctor's schedule, rather than because their babies are ready to be born. Fetuses that were not in distress before the administering of Pitocin sometimes quickly become distressed after the drug is given, which leads to more medical interventions.
Which of the following states the point of this passage?
A Medical interventions during labor cause the very problems they were meant to prevent.
B All medical intervention in pregnancy is unnecessary.
C Administering Pitocin to speed labor may result in a series of other medical interventions that are distressing to both mother and baby.
D Doctors care more about efficiency than patient care.
E Caesarean deliveries are always unnecessary.

Simple question. The entire stimulus is focused on one specific drug 'pitocin' and its effects on pregnant women and fetuses. Almost all options except C make general comments of the sorts which are broad and irrelevant to the stimulus. Hence right answer C
