A certain cultivated herb is one of a groupof closely related plants that thrive in soil with high concentrations ofmetals that are toxic to most other plants. Agronomists studying the herb havediscovered that it produces large amounts of histidine, an amino acid that, intest-tube solutions, renders these metals chemically inert. Possibly,therefore, the herb's high histidine production is what allows it to grow inmetal-rich soils, a hypothesis that would gain support if ______.

B the herb's high level of histidineproduction is found to be associated with an unusually low level of productionof other amino acids

C others of the closely related group ofplants are also found to produce histidine in large quantities

D cultivation of the herb in soil with highconcentrations of the metals will, over an extended period, make the soilsuitable for plants to which the metals are toxic
