Which of the following, if true, would most challenge the researchers' conclusions regarding the identity of the genetic material involved in the experiment? (P and S were radiolabeled)
A. Transfer of DNA between phage and bacteria did not occur immediately following insertion of the virus.
B. No 32P was identified in the genetic material of infected step 3 bacteria following bacterial lysis and release of phage virions.
C. 35S-containing coat fragments from phage progeny adsorb to bacteria, although the fragments contain no DNA.
D. Protein which happened not to pick up the 35S label entered the cell from the phage.
