PT94 - S2 - Q15

Can anyone explain options A and B? Many thanksss!

I'm also not sure about the flaw in the stimulus. In my understanding, the stimulus goes as:
- Nothing one could gain by following that leader --> not following that leader.
- Therefore, incompetent or evil leaders --> bring some good to followers

I think the flaw in the stimulus is that it takes the illicit negation of the premise to support its conclusion. The conclusion implies that if one could gain some good from the incompetent or evil leaders, one would follow that leader (the illicit negation of the premise). This is why the incompetent or evil leaders bring some good to followers.

If my understanding is correct, I didn't find any similarity to the stimulus in both options A and B.
