Harvard University's business school has more than one graduate doctoral degree program. The DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) programs are administered by Harvard Business School and the Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) Programs are offered jointly with Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, which is part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). At Harvard, only the FAS can confer the title of Doctor of Philosophy.
Which of the following statements logically follows from the information above ?
(A) A student who wants to maximize chances for acceptance to a program can apply to both the DBA and to the Ph.D. programs at Harvard.
(B) Applicants to Harvard's joint Ph.D. Programs are not eligible for the Doctor of Business Administration programs.
(C) Some students in the Business Economics Ph.D. Program at Harvard will not have their degrees granted by the faculty of Harvard Business School.
(D) The Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard can only grant the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.
(E) The fields of study in which students can pursue the DBA or a Ph.D. at Harvard Business School are similar but the degree requirements are distinct.
Let's discuss the reasoning !

Show SpoilerExplanation from Veritas
This is an Inference question, so the best approach is to eliminate those choices that could be false. This is a tricky question because it looks like they all could be false!!
Answer (A) is not necessarily true. The passage provides no information about probability for acceptance not about whether applicants are allowed to apply to both types of programs. Similarly, answer (B) is not necessarily true. The passage provides no information about probability for acceptance not about whether applicants are allowed to apply to both types of programs. Answer (D) is incorrect because the passage provides no information about what, if any, degrees other than the Ph.D the FAS can grant. Answer (E) is incorrect because the passage provides no information about the similarities or differences between the two programs except for the fact that the degrees are granted by two different sets of faculty. Answer (C) is the right choice because the “some” in the answer includes the possibility of “all” and, according to the passage, all students in the Ph.D. Program can only have their degrees granted by the FAS, not by the faculty of the Business School.

we do not know this info from the passage. In passage, it does not say something about the chance to apply both programs
(B) Applicants to Harvard's joint Ph.D. Programs are not eligible for the Doctor of Business Administration programs.
it weakens the passage. Due to dual-degree, someone with PHD might be eligible for the Doctor of Biz Administration
(C) Some students in the Business Economics Ph.D. Program at Harvard will not have their degrees granted by the facultyof Harvard Business School.
Yes. Someone have dual degree, meaning that someone do not have.

OA is C and I too selected option C for the same reasoning given by David from VeritasPrep as below:
