The agricultural industry of country X is dependent on paddy fields primarily fertilized by droppings of the Tall-Legged Crane indigenous to the country. Cranes primarily survive on fish. The Long-finned fish, however, are poisonous to the indigenous cranes. As the population of this fish has increased lately, there has been a proposal to import Short-Legged Cranes from the neighbouring countries that primarily survive on the Long-Finned Fish. This proposal is expected not only to save the animals that could die by eating the poisonous fish, but also to prevent any decrease in export revenue by saving the agricultural industry of country X.
Which of the following if true will diminish belief in the notion that importing Short-Legged Cranes is likely to achieve its goal?
A. The climatic conditions of country X is not as conducive for the Short-legged cranes as it is for the native Tall-legged ones.
B. Ironically, one of the sources of sustenance for the Long-finned fish is the droppings of tall-legged cranes.
C. Research at the R & D departments of the agricultural industry has come up with ways of increasing the agricultural production of the country in ways that are more cost effective than importing Short-Legged Cranes.
D. Droppings of the Short-Legged Cranes are extremely poisonous to crops and animals that eat them alike.
E. Environmentalists do not support the proposal as they believe it may not be sufficient to ensure that the balance of the ecosystem of the country remains undisturbed.

Which of the following if true will diminish belief in the notion that importing Short-Legged Cranes is likely to achieve its goal?
A. The climatic conditions of country X is not as conducive for the Short-legged cranes as it is for the native Tall-legged ones. -- The degree of conduciveness is not quantified. For all we know, SLC might not thrive but if they survive, it's good enough
B. Ironically, one of the sources of sustenance for the Long-finned fish is the droppings of tall-legged cranes. -- This strengthens the plan that SLC will do well in the country X
C. Research at the R & D departments of the agricultural industry has come up with ways of increasing the agricultural production of the country in ways that are more cost effective than importing Short-Legged Cranes. -- Cost effective doesn't mean sustainable. We are not provided with many information to make a judgement here.
D. Droppings of the Short-Legged Cranes are extremely poisonous to crops and animals that eat them alike. -- CORRECT, this says that importing SLC won't be as successful as people thought. SLCs could inadvertently kill the crops they intended to protect.
E. Environmentalists do not support the proposal as they believe it may not be sufficient to ensure that the balance of the ecosystem of the country remains undisturbed. -- Support of enviromental group is not at discussion here, out-of-scope
So, the answer is D

A. The climatic conditions of country X is not as conducive for the Short-legged cranes as it is for the native Tall-legged ones.
This only tells that climate is not as conducive for SLC compared to TLC.It's not mentioned that SLC will not survive in this climate.If there were no other correct options available then we could think about considering this option.
B. Ironically, one of the sources of sustenance for the Long-finned fish is the droppings of tall-legged cranes.
This is no way relevant.This option does not talk about SLC.
C. Research at the R & D departments of the agricultural industry has come up with ways of increasing the agricultural production of the country in ways that are more cost effective than importing Short-Legged Cranes.
Cost is only one aspect. This proposal is expected not only to save the animals that could die by eating the poisonous fish, but also to prevent any decrease in export revenue by saving the agricultural industry of country X.
D. Droppings of the Short-Legged Cranes are extremely poisonous to crops and animals that eat them alike.
Bang ON.This shows impact on crops(cost) and also on animals.
E. Environmentalists do not support the proposal as they believe it may not be sufficient to ensure that the balance of the ecosystem of the country remains undisturbed.
Not relevant.
