Every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on this evidence, what possible conclusion can be drawn about ASD?
A. ASD may be lethal.
B. ASD may be genetic.
C. ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures,
D. No conclusion can be drawn based on this evidence.
The evidence says that every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). All of these children have genetic commonalities. Therefore, ASD may be genetic.
The evidence does not mention whether the children died from ASD. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn that ASD may be lethal. Furthermore, the sample size of the evidence is much too small to suggest that ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
