Inference
After studying forty-year-old penguins, researchers found that the foraging success of mature penguins is closely linked to the survival of other chicks in their colony. Penguins that hatched alone or whose fellow chicks did not survive their early development were noted to have lower foraging success after forty years compared to those that were raised with one or more other chicks. If the researchers' findings are correct, it follows that

the survival of other chicks rather than just their birth is more crucial for the foraging success of penguins after forty years

some penguins that developed early are likely to have better foraging success after forty years
D
penguins that had high foraging success after their early development are likely to continue having high foraging success after forty years
E
the survival of other chicks is less significant to penguins after their early development than it is after forty years
