Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
On the whole, scientists do their most creative work before age forty, a tendency that has been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity.

Supporting this explanation is the finding that ______.
- the average age of recipientsof scientific research grants is significantly greater than forty
- a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond age forty entered their field at an older age than is common B
- many scientists temper their own expectations of what they can achieve in their research work by their belief that their creativity will decline as they age
- scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activities, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research
E there is a similar diminution of creativity with age in nonscientific fields, such as poetry and musical composition 排除法倒是能选出B，但是是什么意思？？？为啥是B？？？ |
