The stimulus says " with great skepticism, as no biologist believed V. cholera could persist without a human host, and no cholera outbreaks were occurring anywhere near the Chesapeake" does this show that answer choice B is correct because the seawater is kinda replacing or serving the function of the human host?

Thanks

Correct, Grace! If the biologists believed that a human host was required, then they would be skeptical about cholera surviving in seawater instead of in a human. Well done!
