University president: Research institutions have an obligation to promote research in any field of theoretical investigation if that research shows some promise of yielding insights into the causes of practical problems that affect people's quality of life.
The principle stated by the university president, if valid, most helps to justify which one of the following actions?
(A) A university denies a grant application from a faculty member for work on a solution to a famous mathematical puzzle that has no relation to practical concerns.
(B) A government agency funds a research project in astrophysics designed to determine whether there are theoretical limits on the magnitude of planets in distant solar systems.
(C) A university funds a research position in the physics department that involves no teaching but has the responsibility for managing all the grant applications by members of the physics faculty.
(D) A foundation decides not to fund a research proposal in applied mathematics that sought to model certain poorly understood aspects of economic behavior.
(E) A research institute funds an investigation into the mathematical properties of folded structures that is likely to aid in understanding the structure of proteins that cause disease.

I believe the answer is E, since it can lead to increased understanding on the structure of proteins that cause diseases, which in turn could lead to better way to deal with or manage diseases.
Option A is not relevant as the university presidents only highlights the obligation to promote research, and not the obligation to deny research.
Option B is not relevant as it does not impact practical problems that affect people's quality of life.
Option C is not relevant as it does not indicate an impact on practical problems that affect people's quality of life.
Option D is not relevant as it does not indicate an impact on practical problems that affect people's quality of life. Even if we consider "aspects of economic behavior" as a type of practical problem that affects people's quality of life, deciding not to fund it goes against what the university president is arguing for.
