Systemic tissue damage is one of the most serious consequences of Disease X, though systemic tissue damage itself is only a symptom of Disease X and not a disease itself. Systemic tissue damage occurs only when, in an attempt to defend itself against Disease X, the body produces antibodies that intend to combat the virus. In trying to expunge the virus, the antibodies attack organ tissue and damage it permanently.
Which of the following, if true, would contribute most to an explanation of why Disease X is one of the few medical conditions that can give rise to systemic tissue damage?
A. Only certain kinds of systemic tissue damage are associated with Disease X.
B. The antibodies that the body creates to defend itself against Disease X can also damage the bone marrow.
C. Antibiotics have not proved as potent against Disease X as they have against some other viral infections.
D. Disease X is the only disease whose virus disguises itself invisibly in healthy tissue.
E. Systemic tissue damage can be mistreated if it is not linked to Disease X.

Correct answer: D
A. Incorrect because (A) only provides information about the types of synthetic tissue damage associated with Disease X, rather than providing information about other diseases that can cause synthetic tissue damage.
B. Incorrect because (B) is out of scope. Whether bone marrow can also be damaged has no bearing on why Disease X is one of the few conditions that can give rise to systemic tissue damage.
C. Incorrect because (C) does not signify why Disease X is one of the few medical conditions that causes synthetic tissue damage. Further, (C) provides no information on the mechanism that causes Disease X to cause synthetic tissue damage.
D. Correct because (D) provides information on how Disease X causes synthetic tissue damage (by disguising itself invisibly in healthy tissue) and states that it is the only disease to act in this way.
E. Incorrect because (E) only provides information about (mis)treatment of synthetic tissue damage, not on the mechanism that causes it.

In other words, we have been asked to find a reason why systemic tissue damage can only be caused by only a few medical conditions.
A. Only certain kinds of systemic tissue damage are associated with Disease X.
B. The antibodies that the body creates to defend itself against Disease X can also damage the bone marrow.
C. Antibiotics have not proved as potent against Disease X as they have against some other viral infections.
D. Disease X is the only disease whose virus disguises itself invisibly in healthy tissue. - if the virus introduced by disease X is invisible to the antibodies, then we can reasonably infer that systemic tissue damage can only be caused by disease X; this inference is exactly what we have been asked to find. Hence, (D) is the right answer choice.
E. Systemic tissue damage can be mistreated if it is not linked to Disease X.
