Check out the post above from samagra__. B really is the answer!
The idea is that where we DO see frogs alive, there's no fungus. That makes it more likely that fungus is what killed the others!
In general, one way to support a causal argument is to take away the proposed cause and see if the effect goes away. If you think Defendant X is the culprit for a series of crimes, then we should see those crimes stop when X is put in jail. Similarly, if when the fungus is gone, we don't see dead frogs, the case for the fungus as a cause is strengthened.
