Thanks for the questions @djayasinghe @avggmc @Eden
The claim we are trying to evaluate is whether "the deformity in the bluefin cod must have been cause by the presence of those chemicals inCod Bay."

A and B go directly to the causal link between the chemicals and the deformities.s
D and E offer alternate explanations, besides the chemicals, for the cods' deformities.

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any further questions.
