IMO C - i relied on my ears. I couldn't find anything wrong in both A/C. What is the OA ? What is the source ?

Answer C :
Idiom usage
In general, "under" is the preposition used when discussing the stipulations of a particular set of rules/regulations.
I dont think these type questions will be in GMAT anymore. I heard GMAT now a days does not contains much idioms.
Please check with experts to confirm.
