There are several scientific studies and research findings that are constantly discussed and publicized in the news media. Some of these are contrary to other research studies that are published. This conflict in information makes people believe that either science is inaccurate or that they can ‘choose’ which scientific result they want to believe in. However, neither of these beliefs is accurate. Science is not inaccurate or subjective. Most of the time, scientific studies show inconsistent results either because of inaccuracies in methodology adopted or because of misrepresentation of actual results by the news media. For example, a recent study done on just 15 women showed that eating chocolate was not necessarily harmful during pregnancy and the media reported that chocolate was actually beneficial to the foetus.
Which of the following best further corroborate the author’s argument?
A. A study result that shows that the effect of automobile pollution on global warming is marginal.
B. An unverified study gaining popularity because it seemingly showed that red wine reduces the risk of cancer on a very small control group.
C. A new study that further collaborates an earlier finding that the consumption of some types of berries lower the risk of heart failure.
D. The news media highlighting the fact that a study had clearly proven that effects of certain drugs on rats need not be the same as on humans.
E. People not knowing what to believe because one study shows that a certain disease is caused by genetic factors, while another shows that it also caused by lifestyle factors.

How to comprehend the OA?
The author’s argument is news media misrepresents actual results of scientific studies, but B says "An unverified study" which is NOT a scientific study. Also, it seems to has nothing to do with "misrepresentation".
Anybody can explain?
