Hi,
The correct answer here was E. I understand why the answer is E (because it shows an alternative explanation for the phenomena described in the stimulus), but I have trouble understanding why D is wrong. After all, if following the protocol actually works in curing infection, then doesn't that weaken the argument by showing how maybe it isn't the protocol that is counterproductive, but possibly something else that is causing the higher infection rates?
Thanks!
Best regards

D essentially supports the argument. D states that if you follow recommendations, you can prevent infection. However, the conclusion of the stimulus states that the recommendations are counterproductive.
