Researchers had three groups of professional cyclists cycle for one hour at different levels of intensity. Members of groups A, B, and C cycled at rates that sustained, for an hour, pulses of about 60 percent, 70 percent, and 85 percent, respectively, of the recommended maximum pulse rate for recreational cyclists.Most members of Group A reported being less depressed and angry afterward. Most members of Group B did not report these benefits. Most members of Group C reported feeling worse in these respects than before the exercise.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?
(A) The higher the pulse rate attained in sustained exercise, the less psychological benefit the exercise tends to produce.
(B) The effect that a period of cycling has on the mood of professional cyclists tends to depend at least in part on how intense the cycling is.
(C) For professional cyclists, the best exercise from the point of view of improving mood is cycling that pushes the pulse no higher than 60 percent of the maximum pulse rate.
(D) Physical factors, including pulse rate, contribute as much to depression as do psychological factors.
(E) Moderate cycling tends to benefit professional cyclists physically as much or more than intense cycling.

My 2 cents,
(A) The higher the pulse rate attained in sustained exercise, the less psychological benefit the exercise tends to produce.
- Incorrect -- the passage talks about two kind of psychological benefits, namely being less depressed and angry. So we cannot make generalization about all psychological benefits.
(B) The effect that a period of cycling has on the mood of professional cyclists tends to depend at least in part on how intense the cycling is.
-Correct --
(C) For professional cyclists, the best exercise from the point of view of improving mood is cycling that pushes the pulse no higher than 60 percent of the maximum pulse rate.
-Incorrect -- The passage mentions only 3 observation ,so we cannot infer that less than 60% is the best; what if 61% is the best??
(D) Physical factors, including pulse rate, contribute as much to depression as do psychological factors.
-- Incorrect -- Out of scope.
(E) Moderate cycling tends to benefit professional cyclists physically as much or more than intense cycling.
-- Incorrect -- Out of scope. The passage doesn't talk about physical aspects.
