Company Alpha buys free-travel coupons from people who are awarded the coupons by Bravo Airlines for flying frequently on Bravo airplanes. The coupons are sold to people who pay less for the coupons than they would pay by purchasing tickets from Bravo. This marketing of coupons results in lost revenue for Bravo.

To discourage the buying and selling of free-travel coupons, it would be best for Bravo Airlines to restrict the

(A) number of coupons that a person can be awarded in a particular year
(B) use of the coupons to those who were awarded the coupons and members of their immediate families
(C) days that the coupons can be used to Monday through Friday
(D) amount of time that the coupons can be used after they are issued
(E) number of routes on which travelers can use the coupons

Choice B.
Alpha sells ticket to anyone , but if it is restricted to family members, selling tickets in the market would not happen.

Agree with usualsuspect. (B) is the most restrictive way in which company alpha can be stopped from affecting Bravo. Some loophole in all the other options.
(D) By restricting the amount of time for which the coupons can be used, alpha still has the possibility to buy and sell the coupons in the limited time frame. As per (B), alpha may buy from somebody, but will have to sell it back to the same person or his/her relative, which is....not logical.

Can somebody help me understand what CR question type this is?
I could make out that B is the best answer choice. But just curious as to what category of CR questions this belongs to...

IMO B. This clearly restricts the use of a third party from using the coupon and hence Company Alpha would not buy the coupons from the frequent travelers.

D- cannot be the choice since even within the specified time-frame (we do not know how much) company alpha can still buy and sell the coupons in a manner such that the coupons can be used within the expiry date.
