Biologist: We know the following things about Plant X. Specimens with fuzzy seeds always have long stems but never have white flowers. Specimens with curled leaves always have white flowers, and specimens with thorny seedpods always have curled leaves. A specimen of plant X in my garden has a  long stem and curled leaves.

From the biologist's statements, which one of the following can be properly inferred about the specimen of plant X in the biologist's garden?


A. It has white flowers and thorny seedpods.
B. It has white flowers but lacks thorny seedpods.
