Although Binofram has been proven to alleviate certain skin rashes associated with some medical conditions, many physicians no longer routinely prescribe this drug for this purpose.  A rash can stimulate the activity of the body’s T-cells and also inhibit growth of some strains of virus.

If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusion is most strongly supported by them?

A. Binofram, an effective rash medication, alleviates the itching and discomfort of many illnesses.

B. Binofram can prolong a patient’s illness by eliminating certain skin rashes which can be helpful in fighting some diseases.

C. Binofram inhibits the growth of the body’s T-cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses.

D.  The more T-cells a patient’s body produces, the less severe the patient’s illness will be.

E.  The focus of modern medicine is on inhibiting the growth of harmful viruses within the body  
 
The best answer is B.  By stimulating T-cells and inhibiting the growth of certain viruses, rashes can aid the body in fighting infection.  However, Binofram can eliminate the rash.  Thus, as choice B states, Binofram can prolong a patient’s illness.
