Hiring manager: Large corporations tend to set up high cubicles for employee work spaces – allowing each person to have his/her privacy. Unfortunately, such a set up discourages employees from brainstorming and interacting with each other, which is essential especially for companies that hope to innovate. Nevertheless, it is possible to create the appropriate corporate culture under which cubicle walls are kept high during quiet project periods and are kept low during periods of open brainstorming, thus enabling employees and company to benefit on both fronts.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first describes a behavior which the organizational consultant deems problematic in certain circumstances; the second explains why this behavior can be problematic.
(B) The first is a strategy advocated in order to alleviate an undesirable condition; the second describes that condition.
(C) The first describes a certain condition which the organizational consultant deems undesirable; the second is a strategy advocated in order to alleviate that condition.
(D) The first describes a certain condition which the organizational consultant deems undesirable; the second is a suggestion on how to preserve that situation.
(E) The first is an opinion expressed by the organizational consultant; the second is evidence which supports this opinion.

(A) The first describes a behavior which the organizational consultant deems problematic in certain circumstances; the second explains why this behavior can be problematic.Correct as the first part is a behavior that the consultant doesn't like and second gives the explanation as why it is a problem
(B) The first is a strategy advocated in order to alleviate an undesirable condition; the second describes that condition. First is not a strategy and second doesn't explain the condition (it explains the prob.)
(C) The first describes a certain condition which the organizational consultant deems undesirable; the second is a strategy advocated in order to alleviate that condition. Second part doesn't help to address the condition, it just explains why it is a prob.
(D) The first describes a certain condition which the organizational consultant deems undesirable; the second is a suggestion on how to preserve that situation. Second part is wrong
(E) The first is an opinion expressed by the organizational consultant; the second is evidence which supports this opinion. Second part doesn't provide any evidence

OA is obviously A but I could figure that out from the second half of the option.
Why have options changed the Hiring Manger to Org Consultant ? Just asking because I got confused.
Thank you!
