A conservation group in the United States is trying to change the long-standing image of bats as frightening creatures. The group contends that bats are feared and persecuted solely because they are shy animals that are active only at night.
因为bats shy and act only at night,所以他们被害怕和杀害
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the accuracy of the group’s contention?
(A) Bats are steadily losing natural roosting places such as caves and hollow trees and are thus turning to more developed areas for roosting. （文中为长期的印象，选项中为recent changes）
(B) Bats are the chief consumers of nocturnal insects and thus can help make their hunting territory more pleasant for humans.没有解释人为什么怕bats
(C) Bats are regarded as frightening creatures not only in the United States but also in Europe, Africa, and South America. Fear很普遍，但是没有指出原因
(D) Raccoons and owls are shy and active only at night, yet they are not generally feared and persecuted. （有因无果）
(E) People know more about the behavior of other greatly feared animal species, such as lions, alligators, and snakes, than they do about the behavior of bats.
这题答案我知道是D，是有因无果，但是OG12 E选项的解释好奇怪，能不能帮我解释下？
this suggests that more knowledge about the characteristics of some animal species may produce more, not less fear. But this is quite compatible with the idea that lack of knowledge about the behavior of bats could explain people’s fearful reaction to them. One e?ect of lack of knowledge, for example, is allowing false beliefs to ?ourish.
这个解释看起来也像是说给出他因啊， 因为lack of knowledge导致害怕，然后杀害，大家给我解释下吧~~~
