Scientists studying a common type of bacteria have discovered that most bacteria of that type are in hibernation at any given time. Some microbiologists have concluded from this that bacteria in general are usually in hibernation. This conclusion would be reasonable if all types of bacteria were rather similar. But, in fact, since bacteria are extremely diverse, it is unlikely that most types of bacteria hibernate regularly.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the overall conclusion of the argument?
(A) Bacteria of most types are usually in hibernation.
(B) It is probably not true that most types of bacteria hibernate regularly.
(C) If bacteria are extremely diverse, it is unlikely that most types of bacteria hibernate regularly.
(D) The conclusion that bacteria in general are usually in hibernation would be reasonable if all types of bacteria were rather similar.
(E) It is likely that only one type of bacteria hibernates regularly.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the overall conclusion of the argument?

Why-test is most useful technique to understand conclusion based CR problems. Just ask-why-for each statement and logical answer must be given in argument.
And conclusion is overall summary statement of argument.
(A) Why-Bacteria of most types are usually in hibernation. I didn't find answer for it.
(B) Why-It is probably not true that most types of bacteria hibernate regularly.
Because bacteria are diverse. Hold it.
(C) Why-If bacteria are extremely diverse, it is unlikely that most types of bacteria hibernate regularly.
No answer.
(D)Why- The conclusion that bacteria in general are usually in hibernation would be reasonable if all types of bacteria were rather similar.
This is competitive choice however the answer to this statement won't help anymore. Moreover, this statement is opinion of few microbiologist, not the overall statement by scientific community.
(E) Why-It is likely that only one type of bacteria hibernates regularly.
No answer.
B is the valid conclusion.
