Question

Veterinarians suspect that enteroliths (calcifications in the gut of horses) are related to diet-in particular, alfalfa. To investigate this suspicion, a group of veterinarians collected information on the diet of horses and whether the horses developed enteroliths. The table below displays the findings (a case is a horse with enteroliths, a control is without enteroliths).  There is a relationship between being fed alfalfa and having enteroliths because:
A)P(enteroliths | > 50% alfalfa)> P(enteroliths | 25%-50% alfalfa)> P(enteroliths | < 25% alfalfa). 
B)fewer horses get more than 50% alfalfa. 
C)the proportion of horses that have enteroliths and eat more than 50% alfalfa is the largest probability in the "Case" row of the table. 
D)None of the answer options is correct.
