Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is potentially fatal; consequently, patients with symptoms strongly suggesting appendicitis almost always have their appendix removed. The appropriate surgery is low-risk but performed unnecessarily in about 20 percent of all cases. A newly developed internal scan for appendicitis is highly accurate, producing two misdiagnoses for every 98 correct diagnoses. Clearly, using this test, doctors can largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without, however, performing any fewer necessary ones than before, since ______.

A. the patients who are correctly diagnosed with this test as not havingappendicitis invariably have medical conditions that are much less serious thanappendicitis
B. the misdiagnoses produced by this test are always instances of attributingappendicitis to someone who does not, in fact, have it(这个测试的误诊常常源于把原来没有阑尾的测试成有)

D. every patient who is diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis hasmore than one of the symptoms generally associated with appendicitis
E. the only patients who are misdiagnosed using this test are patients who lackone or more of the symptoms that are generally associated with appendicitis
