Discussion
Thousands of years ago, some people began dairy farming. This coincided with a number of mutations in a particular gene that resulted in these people developing the ability to digest dairy milk.
Based on the given passage, which of the following can be inferred?
Answer: D
The inference is that in human beings, digestion of dairy milk resulted from a mutated gene.
The passage says the mutations in a particular gene resulted in some people developing the ability to digest dairy milk. That supports this statement directly.
It does not support 'all human beings can digest dairy milk', since only some people developed the ability, nor 'no human being can', since some did. Nothing in the passage says digesting milk is essential for humans.
