The best evidence from the text that supports the analysis that human actions are related to bumblebee decline is:

D) the study that shows viruses may be spilling over from commercial hives to wild bees.

This option directly connects human activities, such as the management and transportation of commercial honeybee hives, to the decline of wild bumblebee populations through the transmission of viruses.
