Option A: If none of the participants who said their own behavior was fair would have judged someone else’s similar behavior as unfair, then their relaxed moral judgment of themselves would not suggest that they applied weaker moral standards to themselves than to others.
Option B: Even if this is so, the experimental results could still suggest that the persons would apply weaker moral standards to themselves than to others.
Option C: The argument would be equally strong even if persons who were assigned the unfamiliar task did not know that someone else had gotten a familiar task—or even if no people were actually assigned the unfamiliar task at all.
Option D: Even if the moral standards applied by the persons who judged themselves were as accurate as those applied by the people to whom the scenario was described, the former standards were still weaker.
Option E. Even if all the participants in the first group had felt that all the choices available to them would have been fair for them to make personally, they might have applied stricter moral standards to someone else in the same position.
