28-28: Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

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

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

D: cultivation of the herb in soil with high concentrations of the metals will, over an extended period, make the soil suitable for plants to which the metals are toxic

这题你选c 能告诉我为何不对d?????thank you

如D所说，那么这些土地应该是对所有的植物都是"suitable"的啊，这样就解释不了其他植物不能生长的现象
