Hi experts, I have read all the explanations for Que2 - The passage suggests that the relationship between the view of the author with respect to maternity leave policy prior to passage of the FMLA and the view of the politicians, business leaders, and scholars mentioned in lines 1-2 can best be characterized by which of the following statements? - and I understood why option D is correct. Yet, I am unable to understand why option B is incorrect.
Option B - They agree that the EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy had an initial impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact.
Verification of option B :
Part 1 - "They agree that the EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy had an initial impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs"
Passage - "Many scholars.. discount the role" and "Employers ... not as a purely voluntary response"
Part 2 - "disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact."
Passage - "scholars have failed to recognize its effects" means they disagree on impact of SC's striking down of EEOC.
Please help me to in identifying gap in my understanding. Thanks in advance!

2. The passage suggests that the relationship between the view of the author with respect to maternity leave policy prior to passage of the FMLA and the view of the politicians, business leaders, and scholars mentioned in lines 1-2 can best be characterized by which of the following statements?
(A) They agree that both the 1972 EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy and the increasing feminization of the workplace had an impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree about the relative importance of each factor.
(B) They agree that the EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy had an initial impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact.
(C) They agree that creating maternity-leave programs was a necessary response to the needs of the increasing number of women workers but disagree about whether maternity should be classified as a disabling medical condition.
(D) They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about employers’ motivations for doing so.
(E) They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about how widespread those programs were.
Question - We need to compare the view of the author with the view of 'politicians, business leaders, and scholars.'
Do both 'the author' and 'the scholars etc.' agree that EEOC ruling had an initial impact on creation of maternity leave programs?
The author agrees that EEOC ruling had an impact.
(Author notes) Employers did create maternity-leave programs in the 1970’s and 1980’s, but not as a purely voluntary response in the absence of any government mandate. In 1972, the EEOC ruled... As early as 1973, a survey found that 58 percent of large employers had responded with new maternity-leave policies. Because the 1972 EEOC ruling was contested in court, the ruling won press attention that popularized maternity-leave policies.
The scholars etc. do not.
Many politicians, business leaders, and scholars discount the role of public policy (EEOC) and emphasize the role of the labor market when explaining employers’ maternity-leave policies,
Yet perhaps because the Supreme Court later struck down EEOC, politicians and scholars have failed to recognize its effects, assuming that employers adopted maternity-leave policies in response to the growing feminization of the workforce.
Hence (B) is not correct.
(D) They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about employers’ motivations for doing so.
(D) is correct. They agree that these programs were created in 1970s (before FMLA) but the author believes that these programs were created because of EEOC public policy while the scholars etc believe that these programs were created in response to the growing feminization of the workforce.
