The information above provides the most support for which of the following hypotheses?

(C) People who do not experience migraine headaches are unlikely to have spouses who are migraine headache sufferers.
(D) Children of people who suffer from common migraines are not more likely than the general population to experience a common migraine.
(E) Between one-quarter and one-half of the general population suffer from either common or classical migraine headaches.

OA: A

I have a question: Why should we not choose C? What is the main problem in C?
