Why is (C) incorrect/ issues with (E)

Hello - can you explain why (C) is incorrect? My issue with (E) is that the warmth-adapted beetles could have colonized "sooner" than the spruce forests, but "faster" than spruce forests did not seem supported by the passage. Meaning, they could have colonized at the same speed rate, just sooner.

This is exactly my problem with E as well. Can someone help explain this?

Hi, I think sooner and faster mean essentially the same thing. Given that the same climactic conditions impact every species, the ones that colonize faster will be established sooner.

C is wrong because we have no support for it.
