The country's news media have speculated that the sharp increase in new cases is the result of the tuberculosis outbreak that occurred in neighboring Country Y last year. Health officials in Country X have therefore proposed that all visitors from Country Y must submit to a medical examination before entering Country X.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly suggests that the proposed medical examinations will NOT help curb the spread of tuberculosis in Country X?

(a) Country Z, which also neighbors Country Y, has not experienced an increase in cases of tuberculosis.

(b) Current medical technology is not capable of detecting all carriers of tuberculosis.

(c) Country X does not have the resources to examine all visitors from Country Y.

(d) Tuberculosis is not spread through human contact.

(e) Citizens of Country Y will not travel to Country X if the proposal is implemented.


OA : [spoiler](d)[/spoiler]

Can anyone help explain the thought process? The way I see it, [spoiler](b)[/spoiler] and [spoiler](c)[/spoiler] are closer to an answer than the OA. Am I missing something here?
