c. to add supplemental information that explains the situation

Explanation:

In the passage from "When Birds Get Flu," the author John DiConsiglio intends to provide additional information about the circumstances surrounding the origins of the bird flu. In that respect, he mentions that Dr. Dower was worried about the disease because it usually affected domestic birds, such as chickens, ducks and turkeys, instead of humans.
