Ylvia: some psychologists attribute complex reasoning ability to reptiles, claiming that simple stimulus-response explanations of some reptiles behaviors, such as food gathering, cannot account for the complexity of such behavior. But since experiments show that reptiles are incapable of making major alterations in their behavior, for example, when faced with significant changes in their environment, these animals must be incapable of complex reasoning.

How can we apply negation to this question to find answer quickly :
Some psychologists attribute complex reasoning ability to reptiles, claiming that simple stimulus-response explanations of some reptiles’ behaviors, such as food gathering, cannot account for the complexity of such behavior. But since experiments show that reptiles are incapable of making major alterations in their behavior, for example, when faced with significant changes in their environment, these animals must be incapable of complex reasoning.
Which one of the following is an assumption required by Sylvia’s argument?
(A) Animals could make major changes in their behavior only if they were capable of complex reasoning.
(B) Simple stimulus-response explanations can in principle account for all reptile behaviors.
(C) Reptile behavior appears more complex in the field than laboratory experiments reveal it to be.
(D) If reptiles were capable of complex reasoning, they would sometimes be able to make major changes in their behavior.
(E) Complex reasoning and responses to stimuli cannot both contribute to the same behavior
