Healthy lungs produce a natural antibiotic that protects them from infection by routinely killing harmful bacteria on airway surfaces. People with cystic fibrosis, however, are unable to fight off such bacteria, even though their lungs produce normal amounts of the antibiotic. The fluid on airway surfaces in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis has an abnormally high salt concentration, scientists hypothesize that in high salt environments the antibiotic becomes ineffective at killing harmful bacteria.
Which of the following, if it were obtained as an experimental result, would most decisively undermine the scientists’ hypothesis?
A. Healthy lungs in which the salt concentration of the airway-surface fluid has been substantially increased are able to reestablish their normal salt concentration within a relatively short period of time.
B. The antibiotic produced by the lungs is effective at killing harmful bacteria even when salt concentrations are below levels typical of health lungs.
C. The salt concentration of the airway-surface fluid in the lungs of people who suffer from cystic fibrosis tends to return to its former high levels after having been reduced to levels typical of healthy lungs.
D. The lungs of people who suffer from cystic fibrosis are unable to fight off harmful bacteria even when the salt concentration is reduced to levels typical of healthy lungs.
E The salt concentration in the airway-surface fluid of people whose lungs produce lower-than average amounts of the antibiotic is generally much lower than that typical of healthy lungs.
答案是D,异因同果的削弱，没有问题。但是想不明白E错在什么地方，感觉很混淆啊，请指教
题目说：
即使有很多的抗体，但是有盐的环境，肺纤维化的人还是不能抵御某种疾病
E说，抗体比较少的fluid的盐分浓度也比较低。

无关吧
马儿自己也看出来E哪里有问题了
呵呵
