This reflects the principle that schools can waste money when they conform to the preferences of students. It doesn’t show, as the stimulus does, that problem-solving measures can backfire and have the opposite effect.

This illustrates the principle that paying a higher price up-front can be a cheaper option in the long run. There’s no plan backfiring and having unintended consequences, which is the phenomenon described in the stimulus.

This compares two possible courses of action and determines that one saves more time than the other. The stimulus only refers to one measure and describes how it can backfire.

Like the stimulus, (D) displays net effect reasoning. It illustrates the principle that the positive effects (saving money on theft) of a decision (buying a fancy security system) are sometimes outweighed by the negative effects (losing customer satisfaction) of that same decision.

This compares two options with different pros and cons. The stimulus only describes one measure whose costs can outweigh its benefits.
