Hey Saiff,
This is a must be true question, so while I wouldn't necessarily phrase answer choice (E) as having 'new information', it is incorrect because we cannot say that Brimley's campaign didn't register any contributions just based on the information provided in the stimulus.
What we do know is that the campaign complied with the law, and it only took contributions from residents and former residents. Therefore, the reporting requirement in the law doesn't apply, and no contributions needed to be registered with city council, which is what answer choice (C) says.
This is a very slight distinction between choices (C) and (E) here, but we don't know for sure whether anyone on the campaign registered a contribution - maybe the team registered all donations in the spirit of campaign finance transparency, we don't know. What we do know is that none of the contributions needed to be registered according to the law.
Hope that helps!
