PT84.S1.Q25 (P4) - It might reasonably have been expected

Can someone explain to me how answer B is the correct one? The sentence the question is asking concerns how cooking has impacted biological evolution; B is about domesticated animals and has nothing to do with cooking?

So question 25 is asking which answer choice provides the most support for the claim that "the widespread assumption that cooking could not have had any impact of biological evolution because its practice is too recent appears to be wrong."

B is the correct answer choice because it says that humans biologically adapted to the drinking of milk in 5000 years or less. So B basically provided an example of when a practice is very recent and still directly impacted biological evolution.

On another note, the answer choice does not have to be talking about the exact same content as the passage for it strengthen or weaken a claim.
