Question

Read this passage about animal testing. Which answer provides the best description of the passage?

Modern technology has come a long way. Still, scientists continue to perform cruel and painful experiments on innocent animals. These experiments test the safety and benefits of many products for humans. Most of these experiments have ended up being useless. We must stop animal experiments before more innocent animals are harmed.
Some scientists say that the animal’s suffering is necessary for the good of humanity. But aren’t there other ways to do these experiments? Many experiments can be done without animals. However, companies involved in animal experimentation refuse to accept the new techniques. Take the example of makeup companies. Many of these companies continue to test their products on animals. But they could do these experiments on human cells in a lab instead. No one is harmed in this process.Many nations are taking a stand. The European Union outlawed animal testing in 2009. Israel and India followed in 2013.

B. 
India, Israel, and the European Union continue to allow animal testing because it’s necessary for some products.
C.
