寻英语达人解答问题！！（最好可以帮我把这段话翻译下）

We all know that many more people today are right-handed than left-handed. Can one trace this same pattern far back in prehistory? Much of the evidence about right-hand versus left-hand dominance comes from stencils and prints found in rock shelters in Australia and elsewhere, and in many Ice Age caves in France, Spain, and Tasmania. When a left hand has been stenciled, this implies that the artist was right-handed, and vice versa. Even though the paint was often sprayed on by mouth, one can assume that the dominant hand assisted in the operation. One also has to make the assumption that hands were stenciled palm downward—a left hand stenciled palm upward might of course look as if it were a right hand. Of 158 stencils in the French cave of Gargas, 136 have been identified as left, and only 22 as right; right-handedness was therefore heavily predominant.

Q：It can be inferred from this paragraph that even when paint was sprayed by mouth to make a hand stencil
○ there was no way to tell which hand was stenciled
○ the stenciled hand was the weaker hand
○ the stenciled hand was the dominant hand
○ artists stenciled more images of the dominant hand than they did of the weak

Answer 1

翻译：现在，我们都知道右撇子比左撇子的人多得多。有没有人能就这个相同的模式追溯到史前呢？大部分关于右手优势与左手优势的证据，是从澳大利亚和其他地方的石窟里，和法国、西班牙以及塔斯马尼亚岛的冰河时期的山洞里，所找到的印模和岩画总结出来的。做出一个左手的印模，就暗示作者是右撇子，反之亦然。尽管岩画通常是用嘴喷成的，但可假定优势用手也参与其中。也可以这样猜想，手掌心朝下印——左手掌印朝上看的话当然像右手。在法国加格斯山洞里的158个印模中，有136个证实是左手印，只有22个是右手的，因此使用右手现象是非常明显的。
问题：从这段话可以推出，即使岩画的手印是用嘴喷成的
A没有证据证明是印的是哪只手
B被印的那只手是使用比较少的手
C被印的手是使用比较多的手
D作家对使用比较多的手的创作比少用的手多。

我觉得是选A的。翻译不妥之处请见谅。

追问

我觉得你翻译的还是挺到位的。
但是参考答案选B，
这道题中我对stencil这个词实在是不理解，词典解释是“钢印”。
不管怎么说还是谢谢你的翻译
