Immoral actions

Two things are true of all immoral actions. First, if they are performed in public, they offend public sensibilities. Second, they are accompanied by feelings of guilt.
If all the statements above are true, then which one of the following must be false?

(A) Some immoral actions that are not performed in public are not accompanied by feelings of guilt.
(B) Immoral actions are wrong solely by virtue of being accompanied by feelings of guilt.
(C) Some actions that offend public sensibilities if they are performed in public are not accompanied by feelings of guilt.
(D) Some actions that are accompanied by feelings of guilt are not immoral, even if they frequently offend public sensibilities.
(E) Every action performed in public that is accompanied by feelings of guilt is immoral.

IMO A
immoral actions -> if in public, offend public sensitivities. -1
-> accompanied by guilt -2
a)false because of 2. (all immoral actions are accompanied by guilt)
b)its never discussed why immoral actions are wrong
c) 'some actions' can be moral actions also about which nothing is given. So can't say
d) they can be moral ( we know that immoral actions -> guilt, but we can't assume vice versa)
e) can't say for sure.
