Emily,
The policy that Garcia mentions is the same policy that Flynn mentions, namely "Allowing people to collect large damage awards when they successfully sue corporations that produce dangerous products". Flynn says that this policy will result in benefit to the consumer because companies will be deterred from making dangerous products. Garcia says the same policy (without limit) could result in a company going bankrupt which would harm employees and ultimately the consumer because they couldn't get that product anymore.
So, clearly Garcia is arguing that the policy that Flynn advocates could actually have a negative effect rather than a positive one, which is what A is saying. Now, Garcia could make an argument like D, but that isn't really what's happening. It would look like this: "You are arguing that laws should be for the protection of the consumer. However, this motive would mean you actually support a policy different than collecting large damages, because those could potentially destroy corporations which benefit consumers."
