Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: ­Entomologist: Beginning around 2006, many honeybee colonies started

Summary:
­Many colonies facing collapse disorder -> almost all of those colonies had IPV -> IPV must be thecause

Prethinking:
IPV found after of Collapse disorder doesn't necesscarily mean IPV caused it. we need to find reasons that breaks this link.
we can think of real world scenarios like this:
It can be something that cause Collapse disorder that in turn caused IPV , or perhaps when the bees were about to die (weak) they contracted IPV

There is only one option that matches this prethinking: C
Prethinking will save time by helping us home in on the correct option without any delay ( rereading other options etc. ) like in Quantsproblems.

Option A does match this too, but other viruses may be present in bess and yet not harm the Bees ( or may not be related to the disorder at all) 
      BUT
If IPV is proven to be more likely to affect bees that already have Collapse disorder ( symptoms )  - this completely destroys the basis ofargument
