Gangrene is often caused by anaerobic bacteria deep in tissues that lack adequate blood flow and adequate oxygen supply. Many times, gangrene can be treated by putting the patient into a hyperbaric chamber. Which statement best describes why this type of therapy is effective?

A) The increased pressure drives nitrogen into the system and nitrogen gas poisons the bacteria. B) The increased pressure drives more oxygen into the bloodstream and, therefore, anaerobic bacteria cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. C) The increased pressure creates a higher pressure in the capillaries of the tissue and drives the toxin produced by the bacteria into the bloodstream, where it is diluted. D) The increased pressure destroys the cell wall of the bacteria. E) When the patient is brought back to normal atmospheric pressure, carbon dioxide comes out of solution at high concentrations, which poisons the bacteria.
