题目材料：

The belief that Polynesian seafaring technology degenerated after the Polynesian expansion from west to east ended (around 1300 C.E.) relied on two related premises: traditional Polynesian wisdom that ancestors' skills exceeded those oftheir descendants and the argument that attenuation of long-distance seafaring must have involved declining maritime technology. But recent research indicates that the Polynesian oceanic spritsail-a large, efficient four-sided saildeveloped much later than has been assumed, incorporating technology that arrived in western Polynesia after 1500 C.E.. If so, the initial settlement of eastern Polynesia during the eleventh to thirteenth centuries was accomplished using an older sailing rig, the double spritsail, that was limited to sailing in the direction of the wind, making the process of colonization more difficult than usually assumed.

The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the "recent research'

A.It suggests that Polynesian seafaring culture remained innovative after 1500 C.E.
B.It widens the possible window oftime during which eastern Polynesia could have been settled.
C.It conflicts with traditional accounts of the impressive navigational skill of early Polynesians.
D.It demonstrates that the double spritsail was insufficient for certain long-distance voyages attributed to the Polynesians of the eleventh to thirteenth centuries.
E.It raises questions about the origins of the type of sail used in Polynesia before the eastern expansion.
