Kawakubo's Group Created a Glycoprotein with a Terminal NAG (I

Kawakubo's group created a glycoprotein with a terminal NAG (i.e.,a protein with NAG attached to its end) .Their hypothesis is that the terminal NAG-and not the protein component-is responsible for the damage to the cell wall in H.pylori.What would be the most appropriate control for testing this hypothesis?

A) Grow H.pylori in a test tube (in vitro) with no glycoprotein.
B) Destroy the H.pylori by exposing them to a hypotonic solution.Then add the glycoprotein and observe.
C) Expose other species of bacteria to the glycoprotein.
D) Grow H.pylori in a test tube with glycoprotein that has its terminal NAG removed.
