J.Y.’s explanation

This is a pretty tough question.
I'll try to explain why (A) is correct with an analogy because I don't want to spoon feed you the answer. You should work through it.
Here's the analogous passage:
(P1) If it's sunny, we go camping. S-->C
(P2) If we go camping, we make a bonfire. C-->B
(P3) We did not make a bonfire. /B
We can conclude a couple of things.
(C1) If we didn't make a bonfire, then it wasn't sunny. /B-->/S
Note that this conclusion is made using P1 and P2 ONLY. We did NOT use P3.
Using P3, we get to draw the conclusion (C2) it wasn't sunny. /S
The contradiction of C1 is different from the contradiction of C2.
Contradicting C1, we get /B and S.
But, let's say we drew the conclusion C2. Now we have two true statements in our hands. P3 and C2. /B and /S. Contradicting that, we get /B-->S.
That's what (A) says.
