An experiment was done in which human subjects recognize a pattern within a matrix of abstract designs and then select another design that completes that pattern. Th results of the experiment were surprising. The lowest expenditure of energy in neurons in the brain was found in those subjects who performed most successfully n the experiments.

Which of the following hypotheses best accounts for the findings fo the experiment?

A. The neurons of the brains react less when a subject is trying to recognize patterns thtan when the subject is doing other kinds of reasoning.

B. Those who performed best in the eperiment experienced more satisfaction when working with abstract patterns than did those who performed less well.

C. People who are better at abstract pattern recognition have more energy-efficient neural connections.

D. The energy expenditure of the subjects' brain increases when a design that completes the initiallty recognized pattern is determined.

E. The task of completeing a given design is more capably perfomed by athletes, whose energy expenditure is lower when they are at rest.
