In most corporations the salaries of executives are set by a group from the corporation's board of directors. Since the board's primary mission is to safeguard the economic health of the corporation rather than to make its executives rich, this way of setting executives salaries is expected to prevent excessively large salaries. But, clearly, this expectation is based on poor reasoning. After all, most members of a corporation's board are themselves executives of some corporation and can expect to benefit from setting generous benchmarks for executives salaries.

Which one of the following practices is vulnerable to a line of criticism most parallel to that used in the argument in the passage?

(A) in medical malpractice suits, giving physicians not directly involved in a suit a major role in determining the damages due to successful plaintiffs
(B) in a legislature, allowing the legislators to increase their own salaries only if at least two-thirds of them vote in favor of an increase
(C) to work both fast and accurately by paying them by the piece but counting only pieces of acceptable quality
(D) in a sports competition decided by judges' scores, selecting the judges from among people retired from that sport after successful careers
(E) in a business organization, distributing a group bonus among the members of a task force on the basis of a confidential evaluation by each member of the contribution made by each of the others

This one's really good! Not only the question type is unfamiliar, compared to most other standard ones, but the temping choice is quite confusing as well.
