The underlying strategy of the spokesperson’s response to the resident is most analogous to the underlying strategy of which of the following?
A doctor dismisses a patient’s claim to have had a heart attack, citing a cardiac enzyme blood test.
A politician rejects an accusation of perjury by denying the credibility of witness testimony.
An insurance agent rejects a claim, on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence to support the claimant’s testimony.
An investigator casts doubt on the results of a lie detector, citing the subject’s report of illness during the test.
A psychologist treats a mental illness by encouraging a patient to abandon inconsistent beliefs.

C 证据不足。
D 实验对象生病了,这是驳斥的采样对象的可靠性
E 劝病人放弃不一致的信仰。
