Since a sambhar, a large, horned Asiatic deer, with no horn is worthless to poachers, the Wildlife Protection Committee plans to protect selected sambhars from being killed by poachers by cutting off their horns.
The Wildlife Protection Committee’s plan assumes that
(A) poachers do not kill sambhars for any reason other than to obtain their horn
(B) hornless sambhars pose less of a threat to humans, including poachers, than do sambhars that have horns
(C) sambhars are the only animals poachers kill for their horns
(D) hornless sambhars can successfully defend their young against non-human predators
(E) imposing more stringent penalties on poachers will not decrease the number of sambhars killed by poachers

I will go with ‘A’
‘B’ – Out of context
‘C’ – Discussion is only about sambhars, so out of context.
‘D’ – Out of context
‘E’ – This cannot be directly assumed unless we assume that there is already penalties in place.
(A) poachers do not kill sambhars for any reason other than to obtain their horn
I'd pick (A) in my first glance too. However it is not really an assumption, since it already says a sambhar with no horn is worthless to poachers. So I'm looking for other reasons that poachers could kill the sambhars. (C) has nothing to do with the question. (D) sounds good, but still have nothing to do with protecting the animal from poachers. (E) is simply something else. So I came back and read (B) once again, (and again,) and realize that poachers could kill sambhar if they pose a danger to them.

So now my choice is (B).

Even though it is worthless in terms of dollars - they can kill them for their meat or just because it makes hunting interesting
Hmmm you are right. Even if they kill them because they are a threat, it is still a reason other than to obtain their horns. So you all are right. (A) it is.
