Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
A certain tropical island received food donations in the form of powdered
milk for distribution to its poorest residents, who were thought to be
malnourished. Subsequently, the rate of liver cancers among those islanders
increased sharply. The donated milk was probably to blame: recent
laboratory research on rats has shown that rats briefly exposed to the
substances aflatoxin tend to develop liver cancer when fed casein, a milk
protein. This result is relevant because .
A.in the tropics, peanuts, a staple of these island residents, support a
mold growth that produces aflatoxin.
B.the liver is more sensitive to carcinogens, of which aflatoxin may be
one, than most other bodily organs.
C.casein is not the only protein contained in milk.
D.powdered milk is the most appropriate form in which to send milk to a
tropical destination.
E.the people who were given the donated milk had been screened for their
ability to digest milk.
