Parkinson’s disease was renamed after Dr. James Parkinson, an English physician who first described its symptoms in 1817, by Jean-Martin Charcot, a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology. This disease is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. Early in the disease, the most obvious symptoms include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking. So far scientists have no idea about what causes the disease, but many believe it involves both genetic and environmental factors. Those with a family member affected are more likely to get the disease themselves. There is also an increased risk in people exposed to certain pesticides and those who have had prior head injuries, while there is a reduced risk in tobacco smokers and those who drink coffee or tea. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but medications may markedly improve the patients’ symptoms. Initial treatments typically involve taking drugs. As the disease progresses, these medications become less effective while producing a complication marked by involuntary writhing movements at the same time. Customized diets and some forms of rehabilitation have shown some effectiveness on alleviating its symptoms. This disease usually hits the victims before they or their family observe the symptoms. Also, a detected symptom would usually be ignored or treated improperly. While there is no record of recoveries, little evidence has shown that the disease is a direct contributor to death.

請再仔細閱讀文章第二段的最後一部分，尤其是關於「生活習慣與發病風險（risk）」的描述。你是否有發現文中提到了哪幾種特定的飲食或行為，被認為與「降低罹病機率」有正向的關聯呢？

本題的核心在於驗證文章第二段最後一句提供的實證觀察。文中明確提到，雖然科學家尚未確定病因，但觀察到吸菸者以及「飲用咖啡或茶的人」（those who drink coffee or tea）罹患帕金森氏症的風險較低（reduced risk）。由於咖啡與茶的主要共同成分即為咖啡因，因此選項 (E) 指出攝取咖啡因可能降低罹病機率，是完全符合文意的合理推論。
