Which of the following most logically completes the argument given?
Researchers investigating the virus that causes Sydenham's disease have developed a drug that represents a major step toward their goal of finding a treatment that can eliminate the virus from the blood of patients with the disease. After infected patients had completed a course of treatment with the drug, no virus was found in their blood. The researchers cannot yet claim that their goal has been achieved, however, since __________.
A) patients who recover from Sydenham's disease are highly susceptible to reinfection if they are exposed to the virus again
B) the drug is still being tested to determine whether it is effective against viruses that cause other diseases
C) it took twice as long to develop the drug as the researchers had originally projected
D) when the virus is present in the blood in minute amounts, current tests for the virus cannot detect it
E) when the drug becomes available, it will be more expensive
