Biologists have posited one reason why the giant tortoise, thought to be the animal with the longest life span in the world, enjoys such longevity. They argue that large, well-protected animals such as the tortoise can devote more biological resources to longevity, while animals that are more vulnerable devote their resources to procreating quickly and at an early age.
Which of the following most strengthens the biologists' argument?
(A) Tortoises that procreate quickly and at an early age tend to live longer than tortoises that devote their resources to protecting themselves.
(B) Animals that procreate early, such as fruit flies, have shorter lifespans.
(C) The oldest tortoises on record live about twice as long as the oldest humans in history.
(D) Tortoises lay between one and thirty eggs at a time, while other animals may lay hundreds.
(E) Tortoises who face less pressure from predators tend to have longer lifespans.
