When a drug test comes out with a result of "inconclusive"

Question

When a drug test comes out with a result of "inconclusive", it doesn’t necessarily mean that the person being tested is a drug user. Rather, such a result means that the test has failed to show whether or not there is presence of narcotics in the person’s blood. Nevertheless, employers will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive drug test result.

Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?

a,Drug tests should not be used by employers in the consideration of job applicants.
 b.A drug test indicating that a subject is a drug user can sometimes be mistaken.
 c.Some employers have refused to consider the results of drug tests when evaluating job applicants.
 d.An inconclusive drug test result is sometimes unfairly held against a person taking the test.
 e.Most people with inconclusive drug test results are in fact users of drugs.
