I was thinking that answer choice A was just the contrapositive of main conclusion within the stimulus that exposure to heavy metals yields antibiotic resistance. Is this wrong because of the word "most", which implies not all and therefore contradicts the causal logic taken from the stimulus? If we view the answer choices as premises that are true, then I would assume that restating the conclusion would be the strongest form of support possible. Is this correct?

This one was a head scratcher.

Nice job being concise and thorough at the same time!
