E. People lie when they really want a job.

Irrelevant..Legality no discussed in the stimulus
B. People who have stolen from a former employer are unlikely to admit this to a prospective new employer.

D. Just because someone has stolen in the past doesn’t mean he or she will steal again.
Only one aspect..negative response to question by the company covered in this prompt..so narrow in scope..
E. People lie when they really want a job.
