单项选择题
Hydrothermal vents along the mid-ocean ridges host ephemeral ecosystems of diverse fauna, including several crustacean species, some of which undergo development as larvae up to 1,000 meters above and 100 kilometers away from the vents. For example, vent crab Bythograea thermydron (at stage of larvae) possess image-forming compound eyes with a visual pigment sensitive to the blue light of upper oceanic waters. As these larvae metamorphose into adulthood and begin to descend to and settle at the vents, they lose their imageforming optics and develop highsensitivity naked-retina eyes. With maturation,the spectral absorbance of the visual pigment in these eyes also shifts towards longer wavelengths and this progressive visual metamorphosis trades imaging for increased sensitivity, and changes spectral sensitivity to the dim, longer wavelengths of light existing at the bottom of the ocean. As hydrothermal vents produce light, vision may supplement thermal and chemical senses to orient post-larval settlement at vent sites.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author views the critical reception that Woolf’’s work has received as________.（） A．largely irrelevant, in that it has paid too much attention to writers of female stereotypes instead of those who have challenged them
B．insufficiently praiseful, in that it fails to acknowledge the extent to which Woolf attacked the stereotypes of her time
C．balanced, in that both Woolf’’ s contribution to the fight against feminist stereotypes and her technical limitations are usually acknowledged
D．often inappropriate, in that critics often mistake the personal references in her work as evidence of self-absorption, instead of a valid technique
E．mostly incisive, in that it points out the unfortunate egotistism of her writing which diminished its overall positive aspects
