Since abnormal proteins in an organism can affect the organism’s nervous system, the development of nerve cell dysfunctions in people could be due to the spontaneous formation of abnormal proteins in humans. Some scientists, however, believe that most nerve cell dysfunctions in people are developed because of human consumption of meat.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most significantly strengthen the hypothesis of the scientists?
A. People who have never eaten meat are those who are equally likely to develop nerve cell dysfunctions.
B. Most people who develop nerve cell dysfunctions are treated with gene therapy that involves the introduction of abnormal proteins.
C. The incidence of nerve cell dysfunctions in people tends to be considerably higher in urban areas than in rural areas where meat is of comparable quality.
D. Livestock producers often fortify their livestock feed with the remains of animals, many of whom may have died from nerve cell dysfunctions.
E. Livestock producers claim that meat infected with abnormal proteins cannot transmit such proteins to humans.

Option D talks about the direct relation as to how a particular bunch of people have died because of the consumption of meat.

abnormal proteins - affects nervous system
development of nerve cell dysfunctions - due to formation of abnormal proteins in humans.
conclusion- scientists believe that most nerve cell dysfunctions in people because of consumption of meat.
A that means something else is causing the nerve cell dysfunction. so hypothesis gets weakened. reject.
B but we are interested in knowing how they got nerve cell dysfunction. this choice doesnt address that. reject.
C wrong comparison and irrelevant to argument.
D then it will be transferred to others and when humans eat those meat, they will also get infected with same issue. so the chain of cycle continues. so this clearly strengthen it.
E this rather weaken the claim.
