 问题：The passage suggests that Jarvis’ work has called into question which of the following explanatory variables for naked mole rat behavior?

(A) Size

(B) Age

(C) Reproductive status

(D) Rate of growth

(E) Previously exhibited behavior

相对于文章中的句子：

Jarvis’ work has suggested that differences in growth rates may influence the length of time that an individual performs a task, regardless of its age.

我觉得文章中明明说regardless of its age，但为什么还要选B呢？是不是因为题中说called into question（这短语什么意思？不理解） ？

请大侠指导，谢谢！

我也有同样的疑问

call sth. into question:to make people uncertain about whether something is right, good, or true

不是很理解题目和答案.

call into question

vt. 怀疑(对...表示异议)

So, in the sentence, its age is called into question.

正因为J对age有异议、怀疑，所以他才会regardless of its age
