Astronauts who experience weightlessness frequently get motion sickness. They see their own motion relative to passing objects, but while the astronauts are weightless their inner ears indicate that their bodies are not moving. This astronauts' experience is best explained by the hypothesis that conflicting information received by the brain about the body's motion causes motion sickness.
Which one of the following, if true, provides the strongest additional support for the hypothesis above?
A. During rough voyages ship passengers in cabins providing a view of the water are less likely to get motion sickness than are passengers in cabins providing no view.
B. Many people who are experienced airplane passengers occasionally get motion sickness.
C. Some automobile passengers whose inner ears indicate that they are moving and who have a clear view of the objects they are passing get motion sickness.
D. People who have aisle seats in trains or airplanes are as likely to get motion sickness as are people who have window seats.
E. Some astronauts do not get motion sickness even after being in orbit for several days.
OA is [spoiler]A[/spoiler], The argument says that when astronauts see passing objects, it appears to them that they are in motion but their inner sense tells them that they are not moving. Both contrasting information, when supplied to brain, causes motion sickness.
Option [spoiler]A[/spoiler] however tells just reverse information that when passengers, who can view the water (means can see passing objects), are less likely than passengers in cabin, who can't see passing objects, to get motion sickness.
