Hint : Since animal protection provisions are now “mandatory,” it can be inferred that they were less rigid in the past. In addition, consider which group of people would be penalized for failure to comply.

Correct Answer: D

Here's Why: The word “merely” indicates that the past provisions were not as strict as the “mandatory” provisions and “recommended” is the only first term that conveys a lesser degree of strictness. Only “violators” could logically be penalized by losing their federal research grants.
