No true musician

No true musician would do some thing as Banal as producing a pop album. Todd released a new pop album.

Assuming the above statement is correct which one of the following must be correct?
1. Todd’s album are so good that they are not considered banal.
2. Todd is not a true magician
3. Todd has much integrity
4. Pop album are not considered to be banal by most musician including Todd
5. Pop Album are banal when they made by those

IMO, Option 2.

I could be wrong, correct me if I am.
This one seems simple but it took more than 2 mins and yet I couldn't come-up with a answer that is 100% positive.

This is something like contrapositive where x = y and contrapositive is y <> x.

so B win in that case. correct me if I am wrong.

This is made trivial if you know what the contrapositive is:

If x -> y, then not y -> not x.
