When the Pinecrest Animal Shelter, a charitable organization, was in danger of closing because it could not pay for important repairs, its directors appealed to the townspeople to donate money that would be earmarked to pay for those repairs. Since more funds were ultimately donated than were used for the repairs the directors plan to donate the surplus funds to other animal shelters. But before doing so, the directors should obtain permission from those who made the donations.
Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the position advocated above and yet places the least restriction on the allocation of funds by directors of charitable organizations?
(A) The directors of charitable organizations cannot allocate publicly solicited funds to any purposes for which the directors had not specifically earmarked the funds in advance.
(B) People who solicit charitable donations from the public for a specific cause should spend the funds only on that cause or, if that becomes impossible, should dispose of the funds according to the express wishes of the donors.
(C) Directors of charitable organizations who solicit money from the public must return all the money it received from an appeal if more money is received than can practicably be used for the purposes specified in the appeal.
(D) Donors of money to charitable organizations cannot delegate to the directors of those organizations the responsibility of allocating the funds received to various purposes consonant with the purposes of the organization as the directors of the organization see fit.
(E) People who contribute money to charitable organizations should be considered to be placing their trust in the directors of those organizations to use the money wisely according to whatever circumstance might arise.

Basically the stem is asking which of the below principles made the directors act the way they did and also places the least restriction on the directors .
(A) This principle places a high restriction on the Directors, this says what the directors cannot do, but does NOT say what they can/should do instead. Places them in a dead lock kind of situation. HIGH restriction. INCORRECT.
(B) This principle seems exactly in accordance with what the directors did above. KEEP
(C) The directors did not act according to this principle. They did not return the money. INCORRECT.
(D) Opposite of the Principle that was followed in the passage.Directors were asked to seek permission from Donors so donors do have the right to tell the directors, how the fund should be utilized.INCORRECT.
(E)This principle gives too much freedom to the Directors, if this Principle was followed then the directors did not need to ask permission from the Donors for the left over fund. Since the Directors sought permission, this is INCORRECT.
Hence we can conclude that option B is the Principle according to which the Directors acted.
Ans- B
Hope it's clear.

I took 3mins 43 sec for this, mainly because I felt, choice B was very strong in terms of placing the restrictions. Choice D had a language which appeared close but if one looks closely, it is the opposite and places maximum restrictions and does not do anything to justify the position advocated (that directors should seek prior approval of donors). Choice A again is very strong in terms of placing restrictions on the directors to allocate surplus funds.
Choice B is the correct answer.
Choice B is the correct answer.
