Another way to interprete the answer. Assume A is not correct, then there are some other radiation will damage Amphibian's gene. Thefore, the depletion of ozone will create more UV-B and other radiations. And hence, the Amphibian population will decline faster. Hereafter, the decline of Amphibian population is still because of the depletion of ozone. It does not weaken the original conclusion. Therefore, A is not the answer. In this counter-deduction process, you can see whether UV-B is the only type of radiation, which can damage genes, is irrelevant to the original conclusion. Proof that D is wrong: Assume D is wrong. Then the shrink of Amphibian's habitat could lead to its population decline, which weaken the original conclusion. Therefore, D strengthen the conclusion and should not be the answer. |
