The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what isrequired to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much if Western music since the Renaissance. Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scalewas developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.

Whichofthefollowing,iftrue,moststronglysupportsthehypothesis?

(A)Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.

(B)No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatonic scale is of an earlier date than the flute foundat the Neanderthal campsite.

(C)The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavatedwas in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.

(D)Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.

The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flutecapable of playing a complete diatonic scale.

B states a fact that is unrelated to the point which sentences above are trying to explain.Since the sentences above describe the hypothesis that  the diatonic musical scale was used years before adopted  by Western musicians.You better compare B and E,then you will find that B has nothing to do with that hypothesis.
