89. Rhizobium bacteria living in the roots of bean plants or other legumes produce fixed nitrogen, which is one of the essential plant nutrients and which for non-legume crops, such as wheat, normally must be supplied by applications of nitrogen-based fertilizer. So if biotechnology succeeds in producing wheat strains whose roots will play host to Rhizobium bacteria, the need for artificial fertilizers will be reduced.

The argument above makes which one of the following assumptions?

A. Biotechnology should be directed toward producing plants that do not require artificial fertilize.

B. Fixed nitrogen is currently the only soil nutrient that must be supplied by artificial fertilizer for growing wheat crops.

C. There are no naturally occurring strains of wheat or other grasses that have Rhizobium bacteria living in their roots.

D. Legumes are currently the only corps that produce their own supply of fixed nitrogen.

E. Rhizobium bacteria living in the roots of wheat would produce fixed nitrogen.

B 为什么不对？？？是不是因为原题说得是the need for artificial fertilizers will be reduced. 而不是 ；一点也不用的原因？？？ 总感觉我的思维有问题 希望大家帮忙啊

B. ...... currently the only soil nutrient that must be supplied.........

Can't reach conclusion from question that it's the "ONLY".

我也被这道题弄沟里了。不是别的问题，就是粗心不粗心的问题，你看Q说“reduce”,不是说eradicate/abandon/get rid of呀，呵呵，弄懂了吗？
