Hi Moukieroo,
Yes, you're correct--both question types are similar, in that they are asking for an inference to be made from a set of propositions in the stimulus (occasionally containing a conclusion, but not usually). Most strongly supported don't require the certainty of a true Must Be True question, and could potentially be false. However, they should be likely to be true, based on the stimulus.
This question is a little odd because it gives us two conditional principles in the stimulus that must be applied to a complete argument answer choice. (B) gives us an argument that comports with the second conditional principle, making it correct; the reason this is a Most Strongly Supported rather than Must Be True answer, however, is that we don't know for sure that it's typically used in the operation of the business, so we can't say for sure or not if it complies with the first conditional principle, although it seems likely based on the information given.
Hope this helps!
