The Infamous "Rattlesnakes" Problem from Session 1

[levyyun]

First time discussion poster here.

I just want to make sure I understood why Answer Choice (A) [Rattlesnakes molt exactly once per year.] is not sufficient.

Answer Choice (A) would be sufficient if the premise read along the lines of, "...because one new section is formed if and only if a rattlesnake molts."

Am I correct in my assessment?

Thank you
