Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Rain-soaked soil contains less oxygen than does drier soil.[b]The root

Premise/Fact - 'The roots of melon plants perform less efficiently under the low-oxygen conditions present in rain soaked soil.'
Intermediate Conclusion- 'melon plants have a lower-than-usual rate of photosynthesis when their roots are in rain-soaked soil'
Conclusion- 'ripe melons harvested after a prolonged period of heavy rain should be less sweet than other ripe melons.'

So Clearly, IMO Answer is Choice C
