According to the passage, the case of the Penan foragers' cultivation of the sago palm fails to indicate that
A.
a co-evolutionary argument is unnecessary to establishing that rain-forest adaptation is the effect of human intervention
B.
plant-species inimical to carbohydrate-rich species would continue to thrive without the practices of foraging peoples
C.
the 'thinning' effect produced by the Penan's foraging practice is responsible for the sago palm's long-term survival
D.
the Penan have justification for abandoning the exploitation of sago palms or relocating to more carbohydrate-rich areas
E.
rain forests may evolve as a result of the quantity and availability of extant carbohydrate-rich species
