A man is arrested for rape in a park where the offence was allegedly committed, shortly after it was said to have been committed, at midnight. The man informs his solicitor that he was in the park because he was meeting a woman there with whom he is having an affair. He does not want to mention this in interview because his family may find out. The man is interviewed at 2.00 am and is very tired. He is cautioned as follows: 'You do not have to say anything. But anything you do say may be given in evidence.'What are the best grounds for arguing that an adverse inference should not be drawn if the man does not account for why he was in the park when asked to do so by police?
A、Because of the wording of the caution. correct
B、Because he could not reasonably have been expected to explain why he was there. incorrect
C、Because he has not been allowed to sleep before being interviewed. incorrect
D、Because he has the right to a private life under Art 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. incorrect
E、Because at trial he does not intend to rely on evidence that he was meeting the woman with whom he is having an affair. incorrect
