PT25.S4.Q18 - Obviously, we cannot in any real sense mistreat plants

Hi all, could someone please help me with this question? Its a small grammar thing, but I am stuck!
Obviously, we cannot in any real sense mistreat plants (MP). Plants do not have nervous systems (NS), and having a nervous system is necessary to experience pain. (EP)
The conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?__
P: EP -> NS
Plants: /NS
So, /NS -> /EP
C: /MP
A: /NS -> /EP -> /MP
Or, MP -> EP -> NS
I think I know why the correct answer is: "Only organisms that can experience pain can be mistreated". But the other answer choices use the word "any" instead of "only". Is there a difference in the two for sufficient assumption questions ?
Thank you so much!
