Seasonal allergy symptoms are the immune system’s response to pollen in the air. When large amounts of pollen are inhaled, it can trigger an inflammatory response that causes allergy symptoms. While there are medicines that minimize those symptoms, a more effective—though often impractical—strategy is simply to stay indoors on dry, windy days during allergy season.

Summary
Seasonal allergy symptoms are the immune system's response to pollen in the air. When a large amount of pollen is inhaled, it can trigger allergy symptoms. While there are medications to suppress these symptoms, a more effective strategy is to stay indoors during dry, windy days during allergy season.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Staying inside reduces allergy symptoms and limits the amount of pollen one inhales.

A
Medicines that minimize seasonal allergy symptoms prevent people from inhaling large amounts of pollen.
There is no support that these medicines prevent people from inhaling pollen. The stimulus only says that they minimize symptoms
B
Most types of pollen do not cause seasonal allergy symptoms.
There is no support for what “most” types of pollen do or don’t do.
C
People who stay indoors on dry, windy days during allergy season are unlikely to inhale large amounts of pollen.
The stimulus says that staying indoors is a more effective strategy to minimize allergy symptoms. Allergy symptoms are caused by inhaling large amounts of pollen. It is not unreasonable to assume that staying indoors makes this unlikely.
D
People who take medicines that minimize seasonal allergy symptoms tend to stay indoors on dry, windy days during allergy season.
The stimulus only says that medicines limit symptoms. There is no link between medicine and staying indoors.
E
People who experience seasonal allergy symptoms typically use air filters that remove pollen from the air in their homes.
This is not supported because there is no mention of air filters at all within the stimulus.
