 More selective than most chemical pesticides in that they ordinarily destroy only unwanted species, biocontrol. agents (such as insects, fungi, and viruses) eat, infect, or parasitize targeted plant or animal pests. However, biocontrol agents can negatively affect nontarget species by, for example, competing with them for resources: a biocontrol agent might reduce the benefits conferred by a desirable animal species by consuming a plant on which the animal prefers to lay its eggs.
                Another example of indirect negative consequences occurred in England when a virus introduced to control rabbits reduced the amount of open ground (because large rabbit populations reduce the ground cover), in turn reducing underground ant nests and triggering the extinction of a blue butterfly that had depended on the nests to shelter its offspring. The paucity of known extinctions or disruptions resulting from indirect interactions may reflect not the infrequency of such mishaps but rather the failure to look for or to detect them: most organisms likely to be adversely affected by indirect interactions are of little or no known commercial value and the events linking a biocontrol agent with an adverse effect are often unclear. Moreover, determining the potential risks of biocontrol agents before they are used is difficult, especially when a nonnative agent is introduced, because, unlike a chemical pesticide, a biocontrol agent may adapt in unpredictable ways, so that it can feed on or otherwise harm new hosts.

The example presented by the author in lines 14-23 most clearly serves to illustrate

A.      a situation in which a species is less vulnerable to biocontrol agents than it would have been to chemical pesticides.

B.       a way in which the introduction of a biocontrol agent can affect a nontarget species.

C.      a nonnative agent’s adapting in an unpredictable way that results in damage to a new host.

D.      The contention that biocontrol agents can harm nontarget species by competing with them for resources

E.       the way in which indirect consequences from the use of biocontrol agents are most likely to occurs.

lz的答案B是参考答案吗

个人感觉：

E是使用生物防治最有可能发生的间接后果的方式

B是一种可以影响一种非目标物种的生物防治的引入的方式

文中例子是说明一种生物防治发生的不良过程并没有体现是在使用生物防治后最有可能发生的后果

同问 想选E
