I got this one right, and I was able to easily eliminate C-E, but I don't understand how to eliminate B.
I spent a lot of time debating between A and B. I chose A as the right answer because if urban populations have doubled in the past decade then it does not indicate an increase deaths but rather indicates the population was the same amount of deaths as before SO it is not an increased amount of deaths proportionate to the death rate.
Can someone please explain B to me!? Thanks!!!

In a way, yes. The author is concluding that inhalers are the cause of the deaths, and B eliminates an alternate explanation: that the increased death rate is simply a result of statistical inaccuracy.
So the AC B suggests that the using inhalers can be the cause of increase in death rate by asthma??
I mean, the B supports that main conclusion?
Thanks! This really helps.. Added your explanation to my LR notebook!
B helps the argument by chipping away at one of the alternative explanations: that asthma is now more widely and accurately recorded as a cause of death than it was before. B says that's not the case - the records were just as accurate 20 years ago. It's a very weak "strengthen" because it doesn't address the "widespread" part of the alternative explanation, but at least it clears up the fact that the accuracy is not an issue.
