Hi there, I hope this is not too late!

I ruled out A as well because I didn't see how the portrait of ones father had anything to do with "a unique work of art with aesthetic or historical value." The key here is that the judgement in A applies to "anyone," including the children of George Washington...or [insert your famous historical figure here].

Shannon would allow these portraits to be destroyed, whereas Jorge wouldn't allow all of these portraits to be destroyed, at least not the ones with aesthetic or historical value. That's why they are committed to disagree on A.

In case you also picked E, which I did. I glanced over the "legally" in "legally permissible" in E. We are uncertain whether Shannon is talking about rights in a legal sense. Jorge's principle seems also to apply to moral rights only. So E is not the right answer choice because we have no idea about both people's views on it.
