Which of the following, if true, is the best support for the scheme of the farmers?
(A) The poison that will be used in the stream is not toxic to the farmers' livestock -- CORRECT, this makes sure that the farmers' plan inadvertently cause the same problem they wanted to eliminate in the first place
(B) The naked mole rat is not susceptible to most conventional poisons -- We don't know enough about conventional poisons from the passage to make a judgement
(C) The befurred vole, a relative to the naked mole rat, is most effectively controlled with contraception rather than with poison -- we are not worried about animals of other species
(D) The poison to be used is less expensive than other poisons -- cost is not the issue of discussion here
(E) The poison will be most effective if administered after the harvest -- same as D; not integral to the conclusion
So, answer should be A, IMO

(A) The poison that will be used in the stream is not toxic to the farmers' livestock - Supports & Targets the topic, directly.
(B) The naked mole rat is not susceptible to most conventional poisons - Weakens it.
(C) The befurred vole, a relative to the naked mole rat, is most effectively controlled with contraception rather than with poison - Weakens it by providing another approach than the scheme.
(D) The poison to be used is less expensive than other poisons - Out of scope.
(E) The poison will be most effective if administered after the harvest - Not relatable and does not support.
So, A is the option, correct me if my understanding is wrong. Thanks!
