At Achievers’ School, students from economically underprivileged backgrounds, who study free of charge under the company’s social responsibility clause, tend to spend less time in school on a school day than the financially well-to-do fee paying students. This is despite the fact that on average economically underprivileged children have more pressing academic needs than the fee paying-students. However, despite the mentioned circumstances, the state’s education board concluded that the economically underprivileged students are receiving proper academic attention at Achievers’ School.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the situation above?
A. The company’s social responsibility clause was established under pressure from non-profit organizations.
B. The school organizes free educational workshops on the weekends that are mostly attended by students who cannot afford private tuitions.
C. The school has a lot of free of charge sports and extra-curricular activities designed especially for economically under-privileged children.
D. The student-teacher ratio at Achievers’ School is the same for both the economically privileged and the economically underprivileged students.
E. The average time taken to conduct a paid tutoring session is significantly lower than the average time taken to conduct a regularly scheduled class.

Premise - Economically underprivileged students [EUS] spend less time on a school day than financially well-to-do students.
Conclusion - EUS are receiving proper academic attention at Achievers’ School.
Bridging the gap between the premise and the conclusion can help us explain the paradox in the question.
Quote:
Out of scope.Not concerned why the company’s social responsibility clause was established.
Quote:
Info is provided in the stem that on a school day EUS spend less time in school than well-to-do students. EUS might have household responsiblities(like taking care of siblings, helping parents in chores,part time jov etc) that they need to attend. Hence spend less time in school, but in order to compensate the loss in their studies, EUS attends workshops on weekends so that thier academic needs don't suffer.
Option B bridges the gap between the premise and the conclusion and helps explain the paradox.
Quote:
All the extra-curricular activities will be done in the school premises in school time . Option C contradicts the premise given in the stem , if the EUS are in school the whole time, then how their time differs from well-to-do students.

B: "students who cannot afford private tuitions."
How can I draw conclusion between these students mentioned in B and those students mentioned in paragraph "students from economically underprivileged backgrounds, who study free of charge". Set B is a subset of mentioned students, and not the same set.
I don't agree with the official answer. Can someone please help?
