Dion is examining a Labrador retriever named Jack whose owner does not believe in providing a lot of veterinary care. Dion tells the owner that Jack needs to be vaccinated against Lyme disease. The owner balks at this, saying that he sees no need for Jack to get another shot. Dion asks the owner if Jack ever walks with him through the woods, to which the owner admits that he does. How is Dion’s question related to the argument for a Lyme vaccine?

Dion is pointing out that being in the woods can expose Jack to ticks, which are known to carry Lyme disease.

C.

D.
Dion is inferring that if the owner wants to keep Jack, he will need to provide the care recommended.
