Instead of choosing the preference of a subset within a group over benefitting the broader group, in (A), the executives choose one quality (shared professional interests) over another quality (education level) in making a decision (who to promote).

Instead of choosing the preference of a subset within a group over benefitting the broader group, (B) illustrates a situation of sacrificing a benefit for one group (consumers) in order to benefit a completely different group (the supermarket).

(C) illustrates a situation in which decisions are made based on preferences of a subset of a group (librarians choose books that they enjoy reading) rather than what may be best for the group as a whole (the books that serve the interests of the community).

Instead of choosing the preference of a subset within a group over benefitting the broader group, in (D), the students choose one quality (low workload) over another quality (amount they’ll learn) in making a decision (which course to take).

In (E), the television executives make a decision that aligns with the preference of the broader group (what viewers want), not the preferences of a smaller subset, so (E) does not conform with the principle illustrated in the stimulus.
