On farms throughout the Midwest region of the United States, cows, when slaughtered, undergo processes that decrease the levels of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, that would otherwise be present in their meat. As a result, local populations that rely on this meat for food often display health problems related to iron insufficiency. As a result, agriculturalists are suggesting that farmers in this region plant a new type of grass called NutriGrassx9 that contains a substance that cows can incorporate into their bloodstream to help them better absorb and retain iron so that their iron levels do not decrease during the slaughtering process.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the agriculturalists' plan will succeed?
(A) The varieties of grass that cows currently eat on these Midwestern farms require growing conditions under which NutriGrassx9 can flourish.
(B) The blades of NutriGrassx9 grow significantly longer than the blades of grass currently grown in this region, so grazing cows are likely to notice that the new grass is different from the grass they typically consume.
(C) There are no other plants eaten by cows that contain substances that could better help these cows absorb and retain iron.
(D) The grass currently grown in the region contains some important nutrients that are lacking in NutriGrassx9.
(E) There are other plants currently grown in the region that contain more of the same substance present in NutriGrassx9 that helps cows absorb and retain iron during the slaughtering process.
OA later. Pls explain your reasoning.
