readingWhich research finding would best support Kim's capability claim?
A
CRISPR successfully corrected the gene causing sickle cell disease in 90% of treated patients, with effects persisting after 3 years
B
CRISPR technology was discovered recently
C
Many diseases have genetic components
D
Gene therapy research is well-funded
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. High success rate (90%) + durability (3 years) on actual disease proves capability.
💡 Strategy: Medical capability claims need clinical success data.
