Although aspirin has been proven to eliminate moderate fever associated with some illnesses, many doctors no longer routinely recommend its use for this purpose. A moderate fever stimulates the activity of the body’s disease-fighting white blood cells and also inhibits the growth of many strains of disease-causing bacteria.

If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them ?

(A) Aspirin, an effective painkiller, alleviates the pain and discomfort of many illnesses.

(B) Aspirin can prolong a patient’s illness by eliminating moderate fever helpful in fighting some diseases.

(C) Aspirin inhibit the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses.

(D) The more white blood cells a patient’s body produces, the less severe the patient’s illness will be.

(E) The focus of modern medicine is on inhibiting the growth of disease-causing bacteria within the body.

We need to find what coheres with the statement.

Premise: many doctors no longer recommend the use of aspirin to eliminate moderate fever.
Explanation: doctors no longer recommend the use of aspirin in moderate fever because it stops the moderate fever from stimulating the activity of the body's disease-fighting white blood cells and also inhibits the growth of many strains of disease-causing bacteria.

OPTION A - INCORRECT
The illness in question is moderate fever, any other illness outside this, is the scope of the argument.

OPTION B - CORRECT
This supports the argument. The moderate fever won't be able to perform its functions ( check explanation ) if it is being cured by aspirin, therefore prolonging the patient's illness.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
This is wrong because aspirin does not directly affect the white blood cells. It is the moderate fever that stimulates it.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
The argument is not mainly concerned with how much white blood cells the patient body produces.

OPTION E - INCORRECT
We are not concerned about modern medicine in general.
