Although fullerens - spherical molecules made entirely of carbon - were first found in the laboratory , they have since been found in nature , formed in the fissures of the natural mineral shugnite. Since lab synthesis of fullerens requires distinctive conditions of temperature and pressure , this discovery should give geologists a test case for calculating hypothesis about the state of earth's crust at the time when these naturally occurring fullerens were formed.
which of the following , if true , seriously undermines the argument ?
A) Confirming that shugnite generally contained fullerens took careful experimentation
B) some fullerens have been found on small meteorite that collided with a space craft.
C) The mineral shugnite itself contains large amount of carbon , from which fullerens apparently formed.
D) The naturally occurring fullerens are arranged in a previously unknown crystalline structure
E) Shugnite itself is formed only under distinctive conditions
I chose B. But it is a wrong answer. I still couldn't understand why B is wrong
