Bio-chemists at Perck Pharma Corporation have discovered a new type of allergy. Their research confirms that not only is it caused by pollen of a certain flower, as it was thought, but also the flower has to be pollinated by a certain kind of bee to cause the allergy.

Which of the following would most likely support the data’s implication?

(A) In the absence of the bee, the pollen does not cause allergic reactions
(B) The bee has been shown to be a critical element in the reproduction of the particular flower.
(C) Many cases of the allergy have been observed only in the presence of the bee
(D) In cases in which the allergy does not develop, the flower will grow without the presence of the bee
(E) The onset of the allergy is usually caused by the flower even if the pollen is not present.
