Purebred Derby horses, horses with unmixed lineage, are highly prized as racehorses and are bred and sold by specialized ranchers. Unfortunately, purebred Derby horses are susceptible to genetically induced orthopedic conditions that can severely limit their racing capabilities. Ranchers plan to reassure worried buyers by testing all horses for signs of such conditions before selling them. However, these conditions are not typically detectable until the horse is at least a year old. And many purebred Derby horses are sold before they are nine months old.
Which of the following actions, if taken by the ranchers, could logically be expected to overcome the problem with their plan to test for genetic orthopedic conditions?
A. Making a public announcement that purebred Derby horses less than a year old cannot be effectively tested for orthopedic conditions.
B. Requiring all purebred Derby horses less than one year old to be marked as such.
C. Researching potential methods for testing orthopedic conditions in purebred Derby horses younger than one year.
D. Recommending to potential buyers, horses with mixed lineage that have been negatively tested for genetically induced orthopedic conditions.
E. Not selling purebred Derby horses before they are one year old.

A good question. I was down to C & E but eliminated C because of this sentence "these conditions are not typically detectable until the horse is at least a year old". And another way to eliminate C is to think that you can keep on researching without providing a solution, therefore it wouldn't overcome the problem the ranchers are facing.
IMO E says we don't need to sell until the horses are 1 year old. The best choice available.

PDB - Prized - by sp R
PDB hav genetic Ortho issue
R - assure testing before selling
But Ortho issue not detect in PDB <1 yr older
Many PDB sold 9 mo old.
To overcome this problem with their plan to test for genetic ortho issues - the ranchers may sell after 1 year old, which will ensure that testing is correct.
Thus E.
