FANTOD is a new and powerful programming language. In a five recent cases, teenagers with advanced programming abilities in FANTOD used it to hack into ETS and change their own SAT scores. All of the individuals responsible for these breaches were convicted for their crime. Colleges have discounted the official SAT scores of applicants with these convictions, and have required them either to retake the SAT under more secure conditions or to take special admission tests, with difficulty levels similar to the SAT, in supervised conditions on their own campuses. Student advocates claim that this entire situation gives an unfair advantage to some students, because ____________.
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
A. some students may find a particular college’s special admission tests easier than the SAT
B. many of these special admission tests at the colleges take less than three hours to complete
C. some of the teenager hackers also changed the SAT scores of their friends
D. in only one case, multiple users of a single school computer all were convicted
E. privately purchased SAT prep courses have been shown to improve performance on all the special admission tests at the colleges

There's a switch at the end; the stem first talks about students who hacked test scores, but concludes by describing an "unfair advantage to some students" (and not "to these students"). That switch almost gives away the answer: if any answer explains why any group of students might have benefited from the situation, it's the right answer. And C obviously does that, so it's correct, even if you could tenuously justify some other choices as well.
The premise of the question is a bit hilarious though, for a few reasons, among them: if an MBA program, say, discovered a student cheated on their GMAT, the program is not going to say "oh, we'll design a special admissions test you can take on our campus instead." They'll say "good luck in jail."

Its clearly given that the hackers changed their own scores. So how is your explanation correct?
