Yang: Yeast has long been known to be a leaven, that is, a substance used in baking to make breads rise. Since biblical evidence ties the use of leavens to events dating back to 1200 B.C., we can infer that yeast was already known to be a leaven at that time.

Campisi: I find your inference unconvincing; several leavens other than yeast could have been known in 1200 B.C.
Question: Campisi counters Yang's argument by
Options:

D. pointing out that the premises of Yang's argument more strongly support a contrary conclusion

Answer: B
