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.

Option A - INCORRECT.
The scientific assumption also is in support of the fact that, an abnormal pepper plant can still flourish under idea temperature, humility and light conditions. This option still fits into the assumption of the scientist.

Option B - INCORRECT.
The assumption in this option is right, due to the fact that a normal pepper plant can revive when reinvigorated, it will start producing pepper where its left.

Option C - INCORRECT.
An abnormal pepper plant can grow organically when its receiving desired nutrient to grow. Mostly, Light, Water and required temperature.

Option D - INCORRECT.
A normal pepper plant can grow from an abnormal pepper plant if reinvigorated and so long the plant was properly fertilized and pollinated.

Option E - CORRECT.
''A abnormal pepper grown in the lab without soil''. This statement is actually an impossible assumption. First the pepper is an abnormal one, secondly pepper is frost-sensitive annual vegetable plant that may present some difficulties when growing it. Therefore when it comes to still-producing pepper definitely it wasn't grown from the lab and certainly it won't grow without soil that has a lot of organic matter.
