1. Introduce 'G' mites into the fields and watch these mites devour T mites.
2. Spray the field with miticide, which kills all types of mites.
We are asked to find what must be true based on thisargument.
(A) Only if G. occidentalis has first been introduced into a tomato field will spraying with miticide eliminate all T. urticae from thefield.
Not at all what the argument issaying.
(B) The introduction of G. occidentalis and spraying with miticide are the only two known methods for controlling an outbreak of T. urticae on a tomatofarm.
'Only' is an extreme word. We don't know from the argument whether these are the only two methods. There could bemore.
(C) If live N. californicus mites are found in a field that has been sprayed with miticide, these mites entered the field sometime after the field wassprayed.
