PLEASE HELP!! The sentence "If, indeed, there be no religious truth, or at least no suff-cient means of arriving at it, then the difficulty vanishes: for where there is nothing to find, there can be no rules for seeking, and contradiction in the result is but a reductio ad absurdum of the attempt," serves as:
(A) a rebuttal to the claim made in the first sentence
(B) an unsatisfactory conclusion to the problem posed in the first sentence
(C) an example that illustrates the statement made in the first sentence
(D) a counterargument to the claim made in the first sentence
(E) a qualification of the claim made in the first sentence
