The naked mole rat is a pest to the farmers of Pellaville. The farmers plan to reduce the rat population by poisoning the stream out of which the mole rats drink.

Which of the following, if true, is the best support for the scheme of the farmers?

(A) The poison that will be used in the stream is not toxic to the farmers' livestock
(B) The naked mole rat is not susceptible to most conventional poisons
(C) The befurred vole, a relative to the naked mole rat, is most effectively controlled with contraception rather than with poison
(D) The poison to be used is less expensive than other poisons
(E) The poison will be most effective if administered after the harvest

Option A :- CORRECT
If true, this option supports the argument because it allows the farmers to be able to be able to poison the stream to which the rat drink from in order to reduce their population without it affecting their livestock.

Option B :- INCORRECT
This option doesn't support the argument because, if the naked mole rat is not easily affected or harmed by most convectional poisons, this would place a hitch on the scheme of the farmers and would lead to its failure.

Option C :- INCORRECT
Well, the option has totally deviated from the main course of the argument and it doesn't in anyway support the scheme of the farmers.

Option D :- INCORRECT
This Option is incorrect because, even with the fact that the poison to be used is less expensive than other poisons, it doesn't guarantee the success of the scheme of the farmers.

Option E :- INCORRECT
That the poison will be most effective after the harvest doesn't have much effect on the scheme because the main concern of the farmer is to reduce the population of the rat and not a complete eradication.
