Ever since the movie Jaws, sharks have been feared and reviled as menaces of the sea. Can you picture, then, a shark swimming close to the surface of the ocean, its mouth wide open, looking for all the world like its "catching rays"? The basking shark, named for its propensity to bask (or laze about) in the sun, does just that. Don't be fooled, though; like all sharks, the basking shark can be dangerous to human beings. In fact, there are reports of harpooned basking sharks attacking the boat in which the harpooner is riding. In addition, the basking shark's skin contains dermal denticles that have seriously wounded divers and scientists who have come in contact with the sharks.

The second sentence ("Can....rays") is meant to convey:
A) A comical picture of an animal that is usually regarded as menacing
B) That sharks are not dangerous, despite their portrayal in Jaws
C) An in-depth look at the habits of the basking shark
D) The reason why basking sharks have attacked boats
E) Why sharks are menaces of the sea
