Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
We can think of the history of life on earth as a vast, long-term experiment in pure competition. Every living organism is competing with all other living organisms for resources (nutrients, sunlight, water, territory, etc.). Nature, or the natural world, is a laboratory of unfettered competition. It’s a dog-eat-dog, no-holds-barred, day-in and day-out struggle.
There are no governmental regulators to protect the weak or favor the strong. All organisms are given a chance, but not necessarily an equal chance. As the climate and the environment change (and change they do), some organisms are favored over others at times, but these advantages are fleeting. What nature gives, nature can take away.
Which of the following can be BEST concluded from the passage?
The passage's main idea is that nature favors some, and life on earth can be considered a competition.
Option A: Although the passage talks about Brutal competition, 'survival of fittest' is not within the scope of the passage.
Option B: The planet being flooded with the weak is also now what the paragraph is trying to convey.
Option C: This is the opposite of what is presented in the passage.
Option D: Although the idea is somewhat present in the passage, it is the secondary thought, with the primary being that of the inherent competition.
Option E: This is in line with the paragraph's main point, that the entirety of life on earth can be considered a vast, long-term experiment in pure competition.
Therefore, Option E is the correct answer.
