Correct answer: C
The passage follows a claim-evidence structure. The statement 'Animals have souls' is the main conclusion supported by the comparison of animals to humans. Thus, 'Animals have souls' is the Conclusion (E), and the comparison acts as the Premise (A). This makes Option 2, which includes both (A) and (E), the correct inference.
