A very to-the-point argument.

We conclude that being near woodlands promotes the health of flowers that need pollination.

The only evidence we have to support this fact is that bees visit flowers near woodlands more often than they visit flowers not near woodlands.

So we can expect an answer choice to address that that number of times a bee visits flowers is relevant to whether or not it is pollinated.

(A) does this.

Answer choice E talks about crops not near woodlands. This does nothing to close the gap between frequency of visits and promoting health of flowers, which in this case is supplying a necessary thing of pollination.
