问题 单项选择题

Emerald河大坝建成20年后,Emerald河土产的8种鱼中没有一种仍能在大坝的下游充分繁殖。由于该坝将大坝下游的河水温度每年的变化范围由50度降到了6度,科学家们提出一个假想,认为迅速升高的河水温度影响到土产鱼的繁殖。
以下哪一项论述,如果是正确的,将最有力地加强科学家们的假想

A.土产的8种鱼仍能但只能在大坝下游的支流中繁殖,在那里每年温度的变化范围保持在大约50度。
B.在大坝修建以前,Emerald河每年都要漫出河岸,从而产生出土产鱼类最主要繁殖区域的回流水。
C.该坝修建以前Emerald河有记录的最低温度是34度,而大坝建成之后有记录的最低温度是43度。
D.非土产的鱼类,在大坝建成之后引入Emerald河,开始同日益减少的土产鱼类争夺食物和空间。
E.Emerald河土产的五种鱼在北美其他任何河流中都不算是土产的。

答案
