逻辑问题

A study followed a group of teenagers who had never smoked and tracked whether they took up smoking and how their mental health changed.  After one year, the incidence of depression among those who had taken up smoking was four times as high as it was among those who had not.  Since nicotine in cigarettes changes brain chemistry, perhaps thereby affecting mood, it is likely that smoking contributes to depression in teenagers.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. Participants who were depressed at the start of the study were no more likely to be smokers after one year than those who were not depressed.
B. The study did not distinguish between participants who smoked only occasionally and those who were heavy smokers.
C. Few, if any, of the participants in the study were friends or relatives of other participants.
D. Some participants entered and emerged from a period of depression within the year of the study.
E. The researchers did not track use of alcohol by the teenagers.

正确答案是A。这个。。我怎么A应该是weaken呢?还是我对于A选项的语义理解有误?请教A选项是什么意思~谢谢~

A选项的意思是:那些在这项调查开始之前就抑郁的人和不抑郁的人成为吸烟者的可能性都是一样的~~

也就是当两者的起跑线是一样的,才能进行比较,如果起跑线不一样则无法比较~~

根据Bible, Support这个Cause-effect relationship, 其中一种方法是排除颠倒的因果关系的可能性。A明显正确
