The sentence talks bou the examples of neurogenesis.........
Example are brain growth in mice....or increase in neurons in can..and not the mice itself or canaries itself or mice brain...........

Hence B anc C out......

Obviously brain growth is bette than brain growing.......

hance A out.....

between D and E......

in D ......the construction......

the brain growth in mice when placed in a stimulating environment

suggests that...... brain growth is placed in stinulating env.......when actually mice are placed in stimulating env........Hence E wins
