求问一道逻辑题

10月大战GREUID: 3409486

Along the mudflats of Garantia, exist two types of annelids: earthworms and lugworms. Earthworms tend to emerge from the mud early in the morning when there is more moisture and nutrients. As a result, earthworms have access to more nutrients and thus reproduce far faster than the lugworm, which spends much of the day submerged in the mud. Nonetheless, the lugworm population far outnumbers that of the earthworm.


Which of the following, if true, helps LEAST to resolve the apparent discrepancy noted above?

A Lugworms have specialized taste receivers, which allow them to access nutrients below ground far more easily than earthworms can.

B The whooping crane, the earthworm’s chief predator, hunts along the mudflats during the time the earthworms are feeding at the surface.

C Lugworms resemble the color of the mudflat, and are thus more difficult to spot by predators than earthworms are.

D Compared to the lugworm, earthworms are able to consume fewer nutrients at one time.

E Lugworms tends to emerge in the evening, when the number of predators is less than during the early morning hours, when the earthworm is exposed on the mudflat.

D之所以错 是因为consume at on time  不是决定数量的主要因素吗

D错是因为，"be able to consume fewer nurients"这个因素跟数量不知道是什么关系，根据题目给的知识无法判断其对数量的影响

而且根据常识，如果lugworm单位时间内需要消耗更多的的nutrients，对其数量应该是有不利影响的。无论如何D肯定是least to resolve the discrepancy

OK. THANK YOU AGAIN! HELTER! 原来我一直以为 这里的CONSUME是 捕获营养。。。。太2了
