Answer has to be C

E is wrong as

5) Some of the volunteers were given capsules that solely contained cellulose, an inert substance with no vitamins or other health inducing substances. Those volunteers reported no increase in alertness or energy

even if some volunteers were given capsules.. and there was no increase in alertness .. wht it has to do with the study....??

study was about Vita capsules and their effect
