Principle:

If an issue is not relevant to a majority of those attending → the issue shouldn’t be addressed at the meeting

If none of the issues addressed at the meeting are relevant to a person → that person shouldn’t be required to attend a meeting

Application:

Terry shouldn’t be required to attend the meeting.

We want to support the claim that Terry shouldn’t be required to attend the meeting. So we want to learn that none of the issues to be addressed at the meeting are relevant to Terry.

Even if the only issues Terry could make a presentation on aren’t relevant to a majority, it’s still possible that some of the issues ADDRESSED AT THE MEETING are relevant to Terry. So (A) doesn’t help establish that Terry shouldn’t be required to attend the meeting.

(B) doesn’t tell us whether any of the issues to be addressed at the meeting are relevant to Terry. If they are, then we can’t conclude that Terry shouldn’t be required to attend.

(C) establishes that if an issue is relevant to Terry, then it won’t be relevant to a majority at the meeting. Based on the first part of the principle, we can infer that issues relevant to Terry won’t be addressed at the meeting (because they’re not relevant to a majority at the meeting). And based on the second part of the principle, we can then infer that Terry shouldn’t be required to be at the meeting (because none of the issues relevant to him will be addressed).

(D) doesn’t tell us whether any of the issues addressed at the meeting, if Terry attends, would be relevant to him. If they would be, then we can’t conclude that Terry doesn’t have to attend.

(E) leaves open the possibility that there are still some issues addressed at the meeting that will be relevant to Terry. So we can’t conclude that Terry doesn’t have to attend. (If we knew that NONE of the issues addressed would be relevant to him, then we could conclude he doesn’t have to attend.)
