When experimenting with Streptococcus pneumoniae in the 1920s, Griffith concluded that some substance from the dead S strain bacteria passed to the R strain bacteria, imparting virulence and the ability to form a capsule. Avery and others continued the search for the substance that "transformed" the R strain into the S strain.Hypothesis I:Genetic material or "transforming substance" is protein.Hypothesis II:Genetic material or "transforming substance" is RNA.Hypothesis III:Genetic material or "transforming substance" is DNA.An experiment was performed that demonstrated that the addition of a protein-degrading enzyme did not prevent transformation. This finding

B. supports Hypothesis II.
C. supports Hypothesis III.
D. rejects Hypothesis I only.
E. rejects Hypothesis II only.
