Antibiotics are standard ingredients in animal feed because they keep animals healthy and increase meat yields. However, scientists have recommended phasing out this practice, believing it may make antibiotics less effective in humans. If meat yields are reduced, however, some farmers will go out of business. Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?
A: If scientists are correct that antibiotic use in animal feed makes antibiotics less effective in humans, then some farmers will go out of business.
B: If antibiotic use in animal feed is phased out, some farmers will go out of business unless they use other means of increasing meat yields.
C: If the scientists' recommendation is not heeded, no farmers will go out of business due to reduced meat yields.
D: If the health of their animals declines, most farmers will not be able to stay in business.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
