Official Explanation:



Answer: C

(A) Just because the food has not yet been tested, it does not necessarily mean that the food does not meet the health requirements
(B) Do sharks feed on otters? The information is insufficient.
(C) The discrepancy here is that Monterey bay otters have a lower life expectancy than that of wild otters despite being fed by beach authorities. The explanation lies in the change in behavior of the otters that are fed by the program. Only option C gives this perspective. If the otters have lost their survival skills, their life expectancy would also drop.
(D) So what? Has this friendliness led to any adverse effects? The information is insufficient.
(E) This strengthens the paradox and doesn’t help explain it.
