    Answer : Option E

    From the passage it is clear that the doctors do not think of using the X-ray machines. Hence, (A) cannot be concluded. The context of the passage is not about the number of hospitals that use X-ray machines. Similarly, (C) is also out of context. The passage is not referring to availability of alternatives to X-rays or otherwise. Hence, (D) cannot be concluded.
