Complete Question Explanation
Must Be True-FIB. The correct answer choice is (A)
The idea presented here is that if BSE can be transmitted at any stage, and therefore can be transmitted before it can be detected (before animals show overt signs of the disease, the only way to currently detect it), then isolating animals showing signs of infection may not be enough to completely remove the disease from the cattle population since other animals could still have and transmit the disease before showing signs of it. This notion completes the idea begun in the last sentence.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. As mentioned above, removing symptomatic animals would not be enough to guarantee the removal of BSE, since other animals could carry and transmit it before showing symptoms.
Answer choice (B): This could potentially eradicate the disease because all cattle would be treated.
Answer choice (C): Again, there is no information that allows us to infer that BSE could not be eliminated this way. While it is possible that BSE could still arise in previously BSE-free areas, the fact that this practice could eliminate BSE means that this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (D): This seems as though it would almost certainly eliminate BSE from the cattle population, so it is incorrect.
Answer choice (E): Again, this seems as though it could provide a way to eliminate BSE from the cattle population.
