Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:
On Friday morning, Dieting supplement sales company Herbalife agreed to pay the US Federal Trade Commission a $200 million fine. The FTC said Herbalife cheated hopeful salespeople out of hundreds of millions of dollars with a high-pressure multi-level marketing scheme.
Herbalife’s stock received an immediate 15% increase following the above news. The company also announced that it would hire a second former FTC commissioner in a press release describing the terms of the settlement.
Which of the following options would imply that the 15 percent increase in stock price is fair?
Option A: This option, if true, will incentivise cheating and unfairness and hence is not the correct option.
Option B: This can be rejected on the same grounds as option A.
Option C: Since this option is stating contrary to what happened, this is not the correct option.
Option D: Acknowledgement of deceit, albeit honest, will decrease the trust of investors, therefore, this is the not the correct option.
Option E: Compliance with court order will increase the trust of investors and would be a fair action taken by the company.
Thus, the correct answer is option E.
