Several gastrointestinal illnesses are contracted by swimming in the sea as a result of infectious bacteria in the water. There are tests which reveal the existence of these bacteria, but they are not reliable. Therefore, the authorities have decided not to invest money in those tests, but rather in tests which reveal the existence of non-infectious bacteria.
Which of the following supports the authorities' decision?
A. Non-infectious bacteria were always found close to shore.
B. Where the non-infectious bacteria are found, the infectious bacteria are also found.
C. The test which reveals the existence of non-infectious bacteria was developed only recently.
D. Tests which reveal the existence of non-infectious bacteria take less time and cost less money.
E. One in every ten people who swims in the sea contracts a gastrointestinal illness as a result of infectious bacteria in the water.

The statement that best supports the authorities’ decision is:
B. Where the non-infectious bacteria are found, the infectious bacteria are also found.
Explanation:
The authorities decided to invest in tests for non-infectious bacteria rather than unreliable tests for infectious bacteria. Option B supports this decision because if non-infectious bacteria are found in the same areas as infectious bacteria, then testing for non-infectious bacteria serves as an indicator of the potential presence of infectious bacteria, making it a practical approach for monitoring water safety.
B. Where the non-infectious bacteria are found, the infectious bacteria are also found.

Conclusion- the authorities have decided not to invest money in those tests, but rather in tests which reveal the existence of non-infectious bacteria.
The issue discussed is caused by infectious bacteria, but the plan focuses on test for non - infectious bacteria. there is a gap between the information given and the plan suggested. so in order to support the plan the option should link the presence of infectious bacteria with detection of non-infectious bacteria.
A) INCORRECT- Does not provide any link.
B) CORRECT ✅ - As the testing for presence of non-infectious bacteria is indicative of the presence of infectiuos bacteria so the decision make sense.
C) INCORRECT - This information does not add any value to the conclusion.
D) INCORRECT- Less time and money is not a solid reason to provide justification for the decision as this does not consider the effect of the testing for infectious bacteria.
E) It repeats the already provided information. hence not relevant for deriving conclusion.
