Which of the following, if true, provides evidence that most logically completes the argument below?

According to a widely held economic hypothesis, imposing strict environmental regulations reduces economic growth. This hypothesis is undermined by the fact that the states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth. This fact does not show that environmental regulations promote growth, however, since ______.

1. those states with the strictest environmental regulations invest the most in education and job training
2. even those states that have only moderately strict environmental regulations have higher growth than those with the least-strict regulations 反。
3. many states that are experiencing reduced economic growth are considering weakening their environmental regulations
4. after introducing stricter environmental regulations, many states experienced increased economic growth
5. even those states with very weak environmental regulations have experienced at least some growth

请问这题Ｅ怎么排除？？

Last sentence: Does not show regulations promote growth, however, since (show that growth either stops or reduces when regulation is present)

E: even states with weak regulations => has growth, contradictory to what the blank is supposed to show.

原文说的是"环镜法规不能处进经济争长". E说的"那些有弱的环镜法规的洲经济

争长了"是无关项,它不能得出"环镜法规不能处进经济争长".我倾向选A.
