Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Animal control workers in the forest land around Forestville have been trying to reduce the population of the Wumpus, an aggressive rodent that has been attacking smaller animals in the area. Local residents believe the Wumpus was introduced to the forest about 50 years ago, when a tourist brought a pair of pet Wumpuses that escaped into the wild. Recently, archaeologists digging in the forest have found skeletons of the Wumpus that date back over hundreds of thousands of years. This discovery shows that _______________.
A. even if the Wumpus is raised as a pet, it is able to survive and reproduce in the wild
B. the Wumpus may have been native to the forest for a long time.
C. Wumpuses have only been attacking smaller animals recently due to a decline in the availability of their main food source
D. if left unchecked, the Wumpus population will pose a threat to the native ecosystem of the forest
E. local residents are correct about the origin of the Wumpus in the area

D. if left unchecked, the Wumpus population will pose a threat to the native ecosystem of the forest
E. local residents are correct about the origin of the Wumpus in the area
(A) It is irrelevant whether a pet Wumpus can survive in the wild.
(B) CORRECT. If a very old Wumpus skeleton was discovered, the Wumpus has probably been a native species in the forest for a long time.
(C) This answer choice is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with the discovery.
(D) This answer choice may be true, but it is not related to the discovery of the Wumpus skeleton.
(E) E. The discovery of a very old skeleton suggests that local residents are probably incorrect about the origin of the Wumpus in the area (that it was introduced to the forest 50 years ago).
