(D)

@Julie, The argument tells us that board of directors is expected to prevent excessively large salaries for executives but this expectation is flawed because members of the board are themselves, executives, most of the time and expect to benefit from setting generous executive salary benchmark. The principle the argument is trying to advance is that the group cannot be unbiased in their decision making if most members of the group tend to benefit from the standards they set. (D) presents a scenario where judges are selected from people retired from that sport, hence, they no longer participate in the sport and can no longer benefit from setting the standard for scoring the competition. Does this make sense? Let me know if you have any further questions.

Can you further explain the flaw in the passage in more detail and how it can be identified?
