题目：
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
On the whole, scientists do their most creative work before age forty, a tendency that has been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity.

Supporting this explanation is the finding that ______.
选项:
A、the average age of recipients of scientific research grants is significantly greater than forty
B、a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond age forty entered their field at an older age than is common
C、many scientists temper their own expectations of what they can achieve in their research work by their belief that their creativity will decline as they age
D、scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activities, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research
E、there is a similar diminution of creativity with age in nonscientific fields, such as poetry and musical composition
答案:
B
提问：
正确答案b中说到了年龄超过40岁的人。我第一眼觉得这个选项超范围了，因为文章围绕40岁以下创作作品。请老师解答原文哪句话对应了一个年龄全集，可以说到其他年龄？还是说年龄本身并不是个范围？其他选项我已知道错误，不需要做解答。谢谢

提问：
我选的是D。
我觉得D的翻译是大于40岁的科学家们往往会在其他方面寻求满足感，比如XX或XX，比追求research。与原文超过40岁的人have exhausted the opportunity for creative work in that field相对应。
但是B不知道是怎么支持原文的。
