Which of the following claims represents the conclusion of this argument?

A. There was a time when milk consumption was considered healthy.
B. Milk consumption is not healthy.

Answer 1

The answer is C): The consumption of dairy products contributes to a surprising number of health problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C (The consumption of dairy products contributes to a surprising number of health problems) represents the conclusion of the argument: what can be inferred from the passage is that the past assumption that milk consumption was healthy, was a wrong one because there seems to be strong evidence showing that consumption of dairy products has always contributed/still contributes to a surprising number of health problems.
