In response to several bacterial infections traced to its apple juice, McElligott now flash pasteurizes its apple juice by quickly heating and immediately rechilling it. Intensive pasteurization, in which juice is heated for an hour, eliminates bacteria more effectively than does any other method, but is likely to destroy the original flavor. However, because McElligott's citrus juices have not been linked to any bacterial infections, they remain unpasteurized.

Question: The statements above, if true, provide the most support for which one of the following claims?
Options:
A. McElligott's citrus juices contain fewer infectious bacteria than do citrus juices produced by other companies.
B. McElligott's apple juice is less likely to contain infectious bacteria than are McElligott's citrus juices.
C. McElligott's citrus juices retain more of the juices' original flavor than do any pasteurized citrus juices.
D. The most effective method for eliminating bacteria from juice is also the method most likely to destroy flavor.
E. Apple juice that undergoes intensive pasteurization is less likely than McElligott's apple juice is to contain bacteria.
