Can someone please help me with this question. I've naarrowed it down to A and E. I understand why E is the correct answer but cant figure out why A is wrong

/control --- /morally responsible for it--- /responsible for any consequences
Even though its hard to determine if adults have control, everyone sometimes acts in ways that’s a consequence of treatment received as an infant and infants cant control.

Why cant I conclude A from this?

    Note: answer choice A uses extreme wording such as "any".

    The stimulus states that:

    infants cannot control... the treatment that they receive

    Not their actions. We don't know if there exists some action that infants can control (solely based on the evidence stated in the stimulus).

    When the stimulus talks about adults on the other hand, it is specifically referring to their actions and how some of those are the inevitable consequences of the treatment they received earlier, which they could not control.

    @Rtwrtw8 Thanks for your explanation! For the answer choice E, here is the "action he or she performs" equivalent to "the treatments they receive"?

    Thank you!
