It's E because biologists are learning the there are more species than they thought there were. That doesn't mean that there aren't actually fewer than there were due to extinctions. Both realities can coexist, thus the discovery fails to undermine the assumption regarding extinction; and it is unrelated to the claim that pollution is the cause.
