Scientists used to think that pepper plants had the ability to produce an unlimited number of peppers. So long as the plant was properly fertilized and pollinated, and temperature, water and sunlight controlled, they believed pepper plants would continue to produce indefinitely. However, scientists have now learned that a pepper plant will not produce more than 200 peppers in its lifetime. If a pepper plant goes dormant due to a deficiency of light or water, for example, when reinvigorated, it will start producing peppers where it left off. But a normal pepper plant will produce no more than 200 peppers.
Assume the information in the passage is true, and assume that a pepper plant has been discovered that has produced 225 peppers and is still producing. If so, the still-producing pepper plant CANNOT fit which one of the following categories?
(A) An abnormal pepper plant flourishing under ideal temperature, humidity, water and light conditions.
(B) A normal pepper plant that went into a dormancy stage and then was revived.
(C) An abnormal pepper plant grown organically.
(D) A normal pepper plant grown from the seed of an abnormal pepper plant.
(E) A abnormal pepper plant grown in the lab without soil.
