The policies that corporations should or shouldn't have are irrelevant. We care about what Lopez and Simmons should’ve done, given the existing policies.

Like in (A), we’re not interested in what corporations should do. We only care about what would have been a better course of action for Lopez and Simmons.

We don't know what information was requested on the application form, so this is irrelevant. We also don't know how entitled Lopez and Simmons would have been to lie outright.

The author says Simmons and Lopez should have taken the positions despite running afoul of the policy. This is the direct opposite of what the author claims; it doesn't support the argument, just contradicts it.

This strengthens the author’s claim that Simmons and Lopez should’ve withheld their marital status by removing one possible issue: having an obligation to disclose.
