C versus E

I was between C and E and ultimately selected C because of the sentence that says "For example, it gives scientists the power to instantly cross evolutionary and species boundaries that nature took millennia to establish." Can someone please explain why C is wrong and also why E is right?

Hi, I agree that E feels a little unsatisfactory, I would have expected it to be a bit stronger. However, C is factually incorrect. To warn of possible disasters, the author would have to actually mention those disasters. This includes a rough, general idea that this would be bad, but does not actually warn us of any known disasters.
