Until 2010, a state tax regulation known as the “80-20 rule” required that condominium associations receive at least 80 percent of their gross income from their tenant-shareholders, and no more than 20 percent from other sources, like ground-floor rent for restaurants.

I chose D but checked afterwards and found that I'm wrong.

Yeah Matt. You and me got to D alright; but alas.

I think we need to discuss this in more detail to understand the exact rule being tested and never get it wrong. Plan for a session.

From what my impression is of the exam so far, if you got to D, you will be fine. Reading the discussions on the forums, the reasoning for (A) is a bit of a logical stretch and I don't think such a question would appear on the actual exam. 

I've been informed that all of the test prep companies do a very poor job of emulating the GMAT's style for Verbal questions, and that it's best to stick with official questions. I know that those run out quite quickly, so it's quite normal to use other sources, but for questions like these, I don't think it's worth stressing over. I really think you should feel comfortable with having chosen D.

As for a session, are we waiting until next weekend or does during the week work for you guys? (I'm not sure how early you have to sleep, Vaibhav)
