difference between B and C

Hi I am confused on the difference between B and C. In my understanding, right and morally right are used interchangeably throughout the prompt. I understand why C is correct but I am confused why C is a better option choice than B.

Hi, the issue here is not whether the terms mean the same thing, which in this case I think they do, it because b and c are saying different things about what is right. B is that an action cannot be both right and wrong. In other words, it's saying that there is no action that is a combo of the two. C is that anything that isn't wrong must be right. In other words, it is saying that there is no action that is neither wrong nor right.
