Scientists have long believed that the male monkdeer's habit of engaging in vicious fights with other males during the mating season was a cultural, rather than a genetic trait, especially because it is unusual for one non-carnivorous animal to fight another to the death.
Which of the following best supports the scientists' conclusion?
A. Monkdeer also have some unusual feeding habits that seem correlated with their location.
B. Male monkdeer taken from the herd during infancy and raised by whitetail deer do not display the same aggression as male monkdeer raised by their own herd.
C. One large herd of jackelope found in the state of West Dakota seems to display aggressions similar to those of male monkdeer.
D. Monkdeer are native to the state of West Dakota, and are rarely found far from that region.
E. Scientists have established that some monkdeer have culturally, rather than genetically, acquired traits in regard to the gathering of food.
