Between 2000 and 2010, the number of bass in the Mississippi River and its tributaries experienced a catastrophic decline. There is little evidence that pollution or disease was the cause, so it is likely that there was an increase in the number of bass killed by other means. Typically, recreational fishermen in the region prefer to pursue several varieties of river trout, but a state law passed in 2001 banned the catching of trout in the area. Thus, it is likely that recreational fishing was the immediate cause of the decline of the bass population.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. The number of Over crayfish, one of the primary sources of nutrition for bass, has quadrupled since the bass population collapsed.
B. Bass prey upon trout and compete for many of the same food sources.
C. The most significant concentrations of remaining bass are in areas of the river where fishing is prohibited.
D. Recreational fishing is less popular now than it was in 2000.
E. Recreational fishing has caused a decline in the populations of several species of fish in other habitats.

A. The number of Over crayfish, one of the primary sources of nutrition for bass, has quadrupled since the bass population collapsed. - incorrect because it doesnt give a direct reason for how fishing caused the decline of bass, the increase of crayfish could be due to other different reasons
B. Bass prey upon trout and compete for many of the same food sources.- incorrect doesnt help strengthen the conclusion
C. The most significant concentrations of remaining bass are in areas of the river where fishing is prohibited.- Correct - This tells us that fishing does cause change in the population of fishes, and that the decrease in bass in most likely due to fishing as other places with high concentration have more number of bass fishes
D. Recreational fishing is less popular now than it was in 2000.- incorrect nothing to do with the population of bass
E. Recreational fishing has caused a decline in the populations of several species of fish in other habitats.- incorrect we dont need to care about other habitats and very general.

The task here is to strengthen the following conclusion: likely that recreational fishing was the immediate cause of the decline of the bass population during 2000-2010.
A) this is an effect of the decline in bass in rivers but it does not contain any information as to why (recreational fishing not mentioned), so it is insufficient
B) again, this is irrelevant because it does not provide any information that would strengthen that recreational fishing is causing a decline in bass
C) CORRECT in other words, this statements says: where there is no fishing, there are more bass
D) this actually weakens the conclusion because it contradicts that fishing is causing a decline between 2000-2010
E) this is tempting but it is too broad: "several species" does not have to necessarily include bass, we should not assume this without proof
