Sometimes when their trainer gives the hand signal for “Do something creative together,” two dolphins circle a pool in tandem and then leap through the air simultaneously. On other occasions the same signal elicits synchronized backward swims or tail-waving. These behaviors are not simply learned responses to a given stimulus. Rather, dolphins are capable of higher cognitive functions that may include the use of language and forethought.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) Mammals have some resemblance to one another with respect to bodily function and brain structure.
(B) The dolphins often exhibit complex new responses to the hand signal.
(C) The dolphins are given food incentives as part of their training.
(D) Dolphins do not interact with humans the way they interact with one another.
(E) Some of the behaviors mentioned are exhibited by dolphins in their natural habitat.

I think the answer should be E - in their natural habitat without and incentive like in the case where they are kept and trained for a show does prove that dolphins in general have forethought capabilities.

Evidence - Same stimulus has different responses
Conclusion - Dolphins have higher cognitive abilities which allows them to understand language and forethoughts .
So the possible answer choice will have anything that proves the fact that Dolphins can show different responses to a same stimulus . Hence option B is correct .
