Question # 7

So I chose answer choice "C" and I can see why that answer choice is incorrect because it is never quite referenced in the passage, correct? Answer Choice "A" is explicitly stated in lines 11-12, correct? I found this to be a direct paraphrase of Answer Choice "A". However, can someone please either confirm or deny why answer choices "B", "C", "D" and "E" are incorrect. I felt Choice "B" is mentioned in Paragraph 2. I felt Choice "C" the author never says "not interested", he says "not well suited" There is a difference. I felt Choice "D" is mentioned in Paragraph 2, not Paragraph 1. I felt Choice "E" is mentioned in Paragraph 3, not Paragraph 1. Can someone please expound on this? Am I correct in my analysis?

Hi, this question is asking us what we know about the researchers.

B is wrong because we do not know if the researchers are trying to squeeze out small farmers
I agree about C.
D is false because this is not why they are interested in heirlooms, they are worried about genetic diversity.
for E, this is false- they are researching heirloom crops.
