Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : The longevity of Canada is mostly genetic.

This choice indicates that the people of Canada are genetical lives long and the children of Indians will receive their ancestral property from their parents, not from the birthplace. Therefore, A is the best answer. C does not weaken the conclusion because it concerns the people born in Canada, not the average Indian. Because the governor's allegation is false, it cannot affect the conclusion. B does not weaken the conclusion because it is consistent with the information given and the expectation of life expectancy. By suggesting that Canada's Environment is Comparative Healthy, D supports the conclusion.
