Question ID:PT62 S2 Q23 Passage:Consumer advocate:  TMD, a pesticide used on peaches, shows no effects on human health when it is ingested in the amount present in the per capita peach consumption in this country. But while 80 percent of the population eat no peaches, others, including small children, consume much more than the national average, and thus ingest disproportionately large amounts of TMD. So even though the use of TMD on peaches poses minimal risk to most of the population, it has not been shown to be an acceptable practice. Stem:Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the consumer advocate's argumentation?  Correct Answer Choice:CChoice A:The possibility that more data about a pesticide's health effects might reveal previously unknown risks at low doses warrants caution in assessing that pesticide's overall risks.  Choice B:The consequences of using a pesticide are unlikely to be acceptable when a majority of the population is likely to ingest it.  Choice C:Use of a pesticide is acceptable only if it is used for its intended purpose and the pesticide has been shown not to harm any portion of the population.  Choice D:Society has a special obligation to protect small children from pesticides unless average doses received by the population are low and have not been shown to be harmful to children's health.  Choice E:Measures taken to protect the population from a harm sometimes turn out to be the cause of a more serious harm to certain segments of the population.
