5 The nuclear polyhedrosis virus helps control gypsy moth populations by killing the moth’s larvae. The virus is always present in the larvae, but only every sixth or seventh year does the virus seriously decimate the number of larvae, thereby drastically setting back the gypsy moth population. Scientists believe that the virus, ordinarily latent, is triggered only when the larvae experience biological stress.
If the scientists mentioned above are correct, it can be inferred that the decimation of gypsy moth larvae populations by the nuclear polyhedrosis virus would be most likely to be triggered by which of the following conditions?
(A) A shift from drought conditions to normal precipitation in areas infested by gypsy moths
(D) Starvation of the gypsy moth larvae as a result of overpopulation
答案:D
陈向东在解释这道题时说:A是对原文的驳斥。可我看了半天也没看出A是如何驳斥原文的,请各位大虾指教
