Public health official: Some researchers suspect that magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines can cause health problems for people who five especially near the fines. However, this is extremely unlikely: Beyond a distance of a few feet, the strength of the magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines is less than the average strength of magnetic fields in homes that are not located near such lines.
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the public health argument?

Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the public health argument? A. Whether magnetic fields in homes that are not located near high-voltage power lines can cause health problems for the residents of those homes B. What proportion of people who live near high-voltage power fines believe that those fines may cause health problems C. Whether high-voltage power lines are routed near residential in urban areas D. What specific diseases or conditions are suspected by some researchers to result from exposure to magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines E. What is the average strength of magnetic fields in workplaces that are not located near high-voltage power lines
What additional evidence would most help determine whether magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines cause health problems for people who live near the lines? The public health official argues that power lines’ magnetic fields probably do not cause health problems beyond a few feet from the lines, because those magnetic fields are weaker than magnetic fields usually are in homes far from such fines. This argument assumes that magnetic fields in homes far from the fines do not cause health problems and that people who live near the fines do not spend much time within a few feet of them. Therefore, look for an answer option that indicates whether one or both of these assumptions is correct. <看介个解释我也依然迷茫。。>
D中的" specific diseases or conditions are suspected by some researchers to result from exposure to magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines " 是直接攻击了论点,也就是第一句话,即通过判断"处于这样的磁场中会有什么具体病理特征",可以推出是否对健康有影响,,,,A选项攻击的是后面的解释
