In 2006 an outbreak of E. Coli was traced to fresh produce that people had eaten, and, following the outbreak, wholesale buyers of fresh produce became extremely wary of buying produce that may have been contaminated with E. Coli. Since wild animals living near farms are known to harbor E. Coli, many produce farmers decided to clear areas of wildlife habitat near their farms, hoping to safeguard their profits. Which of the following, if true, would point to a possible flaw in the farmers' plan?
A. Plants and animals that live in natural habitats support crop yields by purifying water and preying on pests that damage crops.
B. Many wild animals that harbor E. Coli are extremely unlikely to contaminate crops, even if the animals inhabit areas near farms.
C. The 2006 E. Coli outbreak was linked only to bagged spinach and to no other types of produce.
D. It is possible to keep wildlife from entering farms by erecting fences, even if there are wildlife habitats near the farms.
