Glen: An emphasis on law’s purely procedural side produces a concern with personal rights that leads to the individual’s indifference to society’s welfare. Law’s primary role should be to create virtuous citizens.
Sara: But such a role would encourage government to decide which modes of life are truly virtuous; that would be more dangerous than government’s being overprotective of individuals’ rights.
The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that Glen and Sara disagree about whether
(A) citizens can be assumed to be capable of making good choices without governmental interference
(B) virtuousness on the part of citizens is more important than the protection of citizens’ rights
(C) there is an inherent danger in allowing government to decide what constitutes virtuous behavior among citizens
(D) an emphasis on law’s purely procedural side results in government’s being overprotective of citizens’ rights
(E) the cultivation of virtue among citizens should be the primary role of law
Sara: But such a role would encourage government to decide which modes of life are truly virtuous; that would be more dangerous than government’s being overprotective of individuals’ rights.

Please explain how E is right?
I thought there is difference between "the cultivation of virtue" and "virtuous citizens." so went for B option

Though I chose A at first place, my two cents as follows:
The question asks about the point of disagreement. Now if you see option C & D, both options put forward only the individual take of Glenn and Sara. Though the true contention is about the role of law in citizens life.
Glenn says that law should not be overprotective and be designed in a way to make people virtuous.
Sara counters the argument of Glenn by saying that law deciding for the people what is virtuous is worse than the law being overprotective.
So the point of disagreement is about the role of law, not the virtuousness of people. So option A & B can be ruled out as both are based on the virtuousness of citizens.
