10. In an in Vitro study, 160 white cats were injected with Salt X. 160 other white cats were injected with placebo. In two weeks, 39% of the white cats, who were injected with Salt Xshowed symptoms of Kay fever. Hence it can be concluded that Kay fever is caused by some elements similar to the elements in Salt X. Which of the following statements would most seriously weaken the above discussion?

Explanation

The statement that one among the 160 white cats had already showed symptoms of Kay fever prior to the experiment weakens the conclusion that Kay fever is caused by elements similar to those in Salt X. This suggests that the cat's symptoms could have been unrelated to the injection of Salt X, and therefore undermines the link between the symptoms and the elements in Salt X.
