North sea

At a recent conference on environmental threats to the North Sea, most participating countries favored uniform controls on the quality on effluents, whether or not specific environmental damage could be attributed to a particular source of effluent. What must, of course, be shown, in order to avoid excessively restrictive controls, is that______

(A) Any uniform controls that are adopted are likely to be implemented without delay
(B) any substance to be made subject to controls can actually cause environmental damage
(C) the countries favoring uniform controls are those generating the largest quantities of effluents
(D) all of any given pollutant that is to be controlled actually reaches the North Sea at present
(E) environmental damage already inflicted on the North Sea is reversible

OA is B.

I answered well, but it took time. It seems a strengthen question.
What is the method or approach to solve this type of fill-in-the-blank questions? Thanks!

The logic i used is this ,

The stimulus is easy to understand so the key focus should be on the word " avoid excessively restrictive controls " is that means i need an answer which can justify why i need to avoid the restrictive control and only B does that .

Ping me in case of any further query.

Can someone explain why D is not Correct ? The point is to control pollution in North Sea. Although B looked equally strong , i went for D.

Sure I can explain.

D says that " all of any given pollutant that is to be controlled actually reaches the North Sea at present"

The word "all" is the biggest problem here. Does "all" of the poison really need to reach your food in order for you to worried about it? If this said, "at least some of any given pollutant reaches the north sea" that would be better.

This is basically an assumption question with the wording, "what must be shown is" and assumption questions usually reject "all" or "none" as answer choices.

Does that help?
