(C) Wesley, a doctor, persuade Max to take part in a medical experiment in which a new drug was being tested: since Wesley failed to warn Max about the serious side effects of the drug and the drug proved to have no other effects Wesley was morally unjustified in using the results obtained from Max in his report.

为什么呢？C 不是说：“proved to have no other effects”吗？而原文中讨论是否“justifiable"的前提不是 “having done harm" 吗？

The reasoning in the passage is that figurative painting  was revived because people in the 70's prefered figurative painting to abstract paining for two reasons: people rather like the sense of empathy ... from figurative paining than sorting out what is in the abstract paining; there is little realistic subjects in the abstract paining, which counters the view of the public (it means that people can not find in the abstract painiting what they normally see around them). So E is right.

The main point is what the author wants to prove. In another word, it asks for the conclusion. A,B,C,D are not what the author wants to prove here. And they are not mentioned in the passage either.

2. No other effects here indicate that the drugs only had "serious side-effect", which is bad. That is the harm.
