This is assumption question.
First and most important is to determine the conclusion correctly. If you cannot find the conclusion, you couldn't solve the question. Next, you must find an assumption that makes the conclusion hold. Because the wording in this question is very convoluted, to understand what the question says, you should paraphrase the stimulus.
Premise: The right of an individual be protected from inhaling the smoke from others' cigarettes is not the most important. (original phrase: not the main issue).
ask your self what is the most important?Conclusion: Private business sector concludes that government's violation to the right of private business sector cannot be accepted (original phrase: cannot be justified).
let ask yourself why private businesses say that government violates their right?Assumption: Probably private businesses maintain that their right to self-determination is more important the right of individual who need to be protected from inhaling the smoke.
Now please look at C:
The right of businesses to self-determination overrides whatever right or duty the government may have to protect the individual. I bet you understand why C is correct

Hope it helps you a little bit.
TAKE AWAY:For assumption questions, determine the conclusion is the most important.
