Need expert help with Veritas CR

According to the new school district policy, only teachers that have the floors can have food in their classrooms. All of the classrooms in the new wing of the high school have tiled floors. However, most of the school's classrooms are still carpeted. Therefore, teachers who like to eat their lunches in their classrooms should be offered classrooms in the new wing of the high school.

Which of the following is an assumption that enables the conclusion above to be properly drawn?

a) Teachers in the new wing who eat their lunches in the cafeteria should keep their assigned classrooms
b) Teachers with tiled classrooms shouldn not eat in their classrooms, even though the new district policy permits them to do so.
c) Teachers with carpeted classrooms should be allowed to eat in their classrooms
d) The district policy hsould allow all teachers who want to eat in their classrooms an equal opportunity to do so, regardless of original classroom assignments.
e) The district policy should minimize potential damage to school property, such as that caused by food stains in carpet.

Which of the following is an assumption that enables the conclusion above to be properly drawn?

a) Teachers in the new wing who eat their lunches in the cafeteria should keep their assigned classrooms - we are not discussing about teachers who should stick to their assigned classrooms
b) Teachers with tiled classrooms shouldn not eat in their classrooms, even though the new district policy permits them to do so.- goes against the district policy.
c) Teachers with carpeted classrooms should be allowed to eat in their classrooms - We are not discussing about teacher with carpeted classrooms.
d) The district policy hsould allow all teachers who want to eat in their classrooms an equal opportunity to do so, regardless of original classroom assignments. - Hold it
e) The district policy should minimize potential damage to school property, such as that caused by food stains in carpet. - Out of scope. This discusses damage to school property

I arrived at D by POE but still I don't get the intended meaning of the correct answer choice.
Don't predict future , create it !
