Whenever she considers voting in an election to select one candidate for a position and there is at least one issue important to her, Kay uses the following principle in choosing which course of action to take: it is acceptable for me to vote for a candidate whose opinions differ from mine on at least one issue important to me whenever I disagree with each of the other candidates on even more such issues; it is otherwise unacceptable to vote for that candidate. In the upcoming mayoral election, the three candidates are Legrand, Medina, and Norton. There is only one issue important to Kay, and only Medina shares her opinion on that issue.
If the statements in the passage are true, which one of the following must also be true about Kay’s course of action in any election to select one candidate for a position?
(A) If there are no issues important to her, it is unacceptable for to vote for any candidate in the election.
(B) If she agrees with each of the candidates on most of the issues important to her, it is unacceptable for her to vote for any candidate in the election.
(C) If she agrees with a particular candidate on only one issue important to her, it is unacceptable for her to vote for that candidate.
(D) If she disagrees with each of the candidates on exactly three issues important to her, it is unacceptable for her to vote for any candidate in the election.
(E) If there are more issues important to her on which she disagrees with a particular candidate than there are such issues on which she agrees with that candidate, it is unacceptable for to vote for that candidate.

(E) If there are more issues important to her on which she disagrees with a particular candidate than there are such issues on which she agrees with that candidate, it is unacceptable for to vote for that candidate.
Kay's methodology of giving vote whenever she has at least one issue important to her : She chooses the candidate with whom she has the LEAST NUMBER of issues in disagreement, other wise she will not vote at all.
(A) We do not know of her methodology of voting when there are no issues important to her.Perhaps she could choose the one who lives closet to her constituency or may be she would choose the best looking candidate, we do not know also it is given that in the upcoming elections , she HAS ONE issue important to her. So this option is out of scope. INCORRECT.
(B)We do not know anything about how she would vote when she is in agreement with other candidates on most of the issues, we only know that she would vote for the one with whom she has the least disagreement with, when she disagrees with everyone on least one of the issues important to her.Out of scope. INCORRECT.
(C) It is given that she will vote for someone as long as there are other candidates with whom she has more number of issues in disagreement.So it is entirely possible that she would agree with a candidate on only one issue and vote for that candidate.INCORRECT.
(D)Here she does NOT have a candidate with whom she has the LEAST number of issues in disagreement. Here she disagrees with every candidate on EQUAL number of issues.CORRECT.
(E)Nothing of this scenario is mentioned. From the premise we know her voting strategy when there is more than one candidate and there is at least one issue important to her, we do not know her strategy when there is only one candidate and more issues in disagreement than issues in agreement. Out of scope. INCORRECT.

Hope it's clear.
