Critical Reasoning

Sharks have a higher ratio of cartilage mass to body mass than any other organism. They also have a greater resistance to cancer than any other organism. Shark cartilage contains a substance that inhibits tumor growth by stopping the development of a new blood network. In the past 20 years, none of the responses among terminal cancer patients to various therapeutic measures has been more positive than the response among those who consumed shark cartilage.

If the claims made above are true, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT:

(A) No organism resists cancer better than sharks do, but some resist cancer as well as sharks.

(B) The organism most susceptible to cancer has a higher percentage of cartilage than some organisms that are less susceptible to cancer.

(C) The substance in shark cartilage that inhibits tumor growth is found in most organisms.

(D) In the past 20 years many terminal cancer patients have improved dramatically following many sorts of therapy.

(E) Some organisms have immune systems more efficient than a shark's immune system.
