Statement by sports association spokesperson:
Our sports association issues contracts to television networks for the exclusive right to broadcast our sporting events. For this right, the networks pay the association substantial fees, which help finance our leagues. We also provide free media passes to our events for journalists so that they can effectively report on sports news, including final scores. Now, however, some news organizations are posting video clips, audio clips, digital photographs, and live score updates from our events on their websites. Conditions must be placed on these practices, which go beyond mere sports news reporting; they harm the value of our broad-casting contracts and violate our rights as the owners of the sports leagues. News organizations that wish to post such information on their websites should therefore sign contracts with the sports association that stipulate what postings will be allowed and how much they will cost. As we have in the past, we will deny media passes to journalists from news organizations that do not comply without requirements.

I know i am not Karishma, but i can help you with this. So to make it very clear the 3rd part says that "The conditions under which a news organization should be allowed access to report on the sports association's events.". Here the important thing to observe is "THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH", so the option is asking you if they had a disagreement on the basis of the conditions which were being set (That is what could the conditions be and what they can't) . Whereas in the lines
Quote:
They talk about if conditions should be placed or not.
Summary: While the option asks us if there is a disagreement between the two parties regarding the contents of the conditions. The actual disagreement in the passage is if there should be conditions even placed in the first place.

Official Explanation
1. Based on the statements, which one of the following can most reasonably be inferred to be a view held by the news organizations?
Explanation
The news organizations spokesperson asserts that news organizations “must be allowed to report freely about sports on their websites, using any type of online medium they deem effective.” From this it can be inferred that the news organizations believe that the restrictions proposed by the sports association spokesperson would hamper their efforts to cover sports news.
The correct answer is B.

The correct answer is B.
2. For each of the following statements, select Both accept if, based on the information provided, it can be inferred that both the sports association and the news organizations would likely accept that the statement is true. If not, select Otherwise.
Explanation
There should be no restrictions on news organizations' sports reporting in broadcast media.
The sports association spokesperson asserts that “conditions must be placed on [the] practices” of “posting video clips, audio clips, digital photographs, and live score updates on [news organizations’] websites.” It is strongly suggested that the sports association would disagree with the assertion that there should be no restrictions.
The correct answer is Otherwise.
A sporting event can be adequately reported by a news organization without broadcasting the event in its entirety on the organization's website.
The news organizations spokesperson states that “online news sites are not asking to broadcast sporting events in their entirety,” which suggests that such organizations do not believe that doing so would be necessary for adequate reporting. This indicates that they would likely accept the statement. The sports association spokesperson indicates that the association provides several amenities for reporters such as media passes so that they can “effectively report” on the association’s events. This indicates that they believe the events can be reported adequately without broadcasting the entire event.
The correct answer is Both accept.
Any online activity that substantially increases many people's interest in the sports association's leagues benefits the association
The sports association spokesperson claims that some activities such as “posting video clips, audio clips, digital photographs, and live score updates” harm the value of the broadcasting contracts. It is likely that the sports association would not consider this a benefit; therefore, it is unlikely that the sports association would accept this statement.
The correct answer is Otherwise.

It is likely that the sports association would not consider this a benefit; therefore, it is unlikely that the sports association would accept this statement.
The correct answer is Otherwise.
3. For each of the following issues, select Disagree if, based on the information provided, it can be inferred that the sports association and the news organizations would hold opposing positions on the issue. Otherwise, select Cannot infer disagreement.
Explanation
The degree to which online sports reporting generates interest in sports
Although the news organizations spokesperson says that “free, engaging sports reporting generates interest in sports,” this statement only implies an increase in interest. The statement does not specify the extent of this increase. The sports association spokesperson does not express an opinion on whether online reporting generates interest in the association’s events.
The correct answer is Cannot infer disagreement.
How frequently a website should be able to update scores from a sporting event in progress.
Among the practices specifically mentioned by the sports association spokesperson is the practice of live score updates. In suggesting that “conditions must be placed” on this practice, the spokesperson implies that the frequency of score updates should not be unlimited. The news organizations spokesperson states that the “[news] organizations must be allowed to report freely about sports on their websites, in any timeframe, using any type of online medium they deem effective,” indicating that the organizations believe that no such limitations should be placed.
The correct answer is Disagree.
The conditions under which a news organization should be abllowed access to report on the sports association's events.
The news organizations spokesperson asserts that online news organizations have a “right to cover the news.” The sports association spokesperson does not express a clear opinion whether online reporting should take place—only that “conditions must be placed” on the practices associated with that reporting. It cannot be inferred therefore that the association believes that reporting should not take place online.
The correct answer is Cannot infer disagreement.
