一道应用题的困惑

djlinda001

语文分册有一篇关于私有化的阅读文章，有一道这样的应用题：

102. Which of the following statements is most consistent with the principle described in lines 35-38?

(A) A democratic government that decides it is

inappropriate to own a particular industry has in

no way abdicated its responsibilities as guardian

of the public interest.

(B) The ideal way for a government to protect

employee interests is to force companies to

maintain their share of a competitive market

without government subsidies.

(C) The failure to harness the power of self-interest

is an important reason that state-owned

industries perform poorly.

(D) Governments that want to implement

privatization programs must try to eliminate all

resistance to the free-market system.

(E) The individual shareholder will reap only a minute

share of the gains from whatever sacrifices he

or she makes to achieve these gains.

答案选C。A选项是什么意思啊？OG解释里说 the principle involves a personal, rather than governmental, relationship. 我觉得这个理由好像说不通，A错的真正原因应该不是这个吧？如果以后有这样类似的题也可以根据这个法则排除么？
