关于it用法和violate主语问题

lemon123

求问各位大神，小弟在做练习中遇到这个题目：

According to the Better Business Bureau, if you fail to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as that of the lowest, it violates the New York Consumer Protection Law.
(A) if you fail to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as that of the lowest, it
(B) if one fails to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as the lowest price, it
(C) failure to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as the lowest
(D) failure to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as the lowest
(E) failing to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or products as that of the lowest

小弟选B，但给出的答案是C，理由是后面的it不能指代前面的状语从句，但这个理由仍然无法解答小弟疑惑：
1. violate的主语难道不应该是人吗？既然去违反一个规定或法律，应该是人去违反才对，而且Merriam Webster Learner给出的解释也是to break the laws or regulations；
2. B中后面的it难道不能指代前面性别不明的one吗？

1. 确切的说应该是xx行为违反了xx规定，我们在汉语也是这么说啊，你的行为违反了xx条例。
1. 楼主都说了违 ...

原来如此！以前对one作代词的用法没去深入了解。多谢大神回复！

1. 楼主都说了违反的是人，确切的说施动者是人，那么one指代的是人，it怎么能指代人呢？
