Food allergies account for more than thirty thousand emergency department visits each year. Often, victims of these episodes are completely unaware of their allergies until they experience a major reaction. Studies show that ninety percent of food allergy reactions are caused by only eight distinct foods. For this reason, individuals should sample a minuscule portion of each of these foods to deter mine whether a particular food allergy is present.
Which of the following must be studied in order to evaluate the recommendation made in the argument?
(A) The percentage of allergy victims who were not aware of the allergy before a major episode.
(B) The percentage of the population that is at risk for allergic reactions.
(C) Whether some of the eight foods are common ingredients used in cooking.
(D) Whether an allergy to one type of food makes someone more likely to be allergic to other types of food.
(E) Whether ingesting a very small amount of an allergen is sufficient to provoke an allergic reaction in a susceptible individual.
