A question from LSAT

Layne

The teenth of some mammals show" growth rings" that result from the constant depositing of layers of cementum as opaque bands in summer and translucent bands in winter. Cross sections of pigs teeth found in an excavated Stone Age trash pit revealed bands of remarkably that the band deposited last, which was invariably that the band deposited last, which was invariably translucent, was only about half the normal width.

The statements above most strongly support the conclusion that the animals died.

A in an unusally early winter

B at roughly the same age

C in a natural catastrophe

D from starvation

Why the answer is D while the passage dose not mention any of it? I just start the LSAT, so thank you for any comments and explanation.
