题目材料：

In the mid-seventeenth century, some Native Americans in colonial New England started to keep and manage livestock for the first time, doing so according to their own cultural priorities and interests. Several factors influenced their decision to keep animals, including threats to their land base and to the productivity of their hunting. It might appear that animal husbandry as practiced by Europeans would have posed an insurmountable sociocultural challenge for Indians. Scholars studying the issue have argued that livestock would have compromised the mobility needed for winter hunting, destroyed crops, competed with wild game for resources, and violated prevailing conceptions of property and of human-animal interconnectedness. Such obstacles were indeed difficult, but creative ways to overcome them were found.

Which of the following best describes the primary function of the highlighted sentence?

AIt identifies an atypical scholarly viewpoint regarding Native Americans and animal husbandry.
BIt helps to explain why animal husbandry was not adopted by more Native Americans in colonial New England.
CIt points out some of the typical misconceptions that scholars have regarding Native Americans in colonial New England.
DIt identifies factors that ultimately transformed the Native American way of life.
EIt identifies certain challenges that practicing animal husbandry posed for Native Americans in colonial New England.
