C only includes premises. The conclusion was, "There can be no individual freedom without the rule of law, for..." "For" is a premise indicator word and functions the same as "because." This means the rest of the sentence is only premises. Since the goal is to "connect the premises to the conclusion," an answer is automatically wrong if it doesn't address both parts.

The lesson describes C as a "sufficiency-necessity mistake": it confuses a necessary condition (required for argument to work) with a sufficient condition (guarantees argument works). Both choices connect to "without the rule of law" from the conclusion, but C tries to connect the necessary condition, "the good life." This is necessary for the argument to work, but it isn't what we need to guarantee the outcome to have "individual freedom." We do need "social integrity" (in B) to guarantee "individual freedom."
