Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11335)

The correct answer choice is (A)

This question asks for what Cannot Be True, and thus we can rely on our inferences. As established in the setup, the two blocks created in the first two rules cannot be assigned to the same panel because there is not enough room for all four variables. Thus, answer choice (A), which contains one variable from each block, presents a pair variables that cannot be assigned to the same panel. Answer choice (A) is therefore correct.

As an aside, note that all four incorrect answer choices contain one random. Because randoms have no restrictions created by the rules, they can often be paired successfully with other variables. Hence, answers containing a random are not the best starting point for your attack. Answer choice (A), not surprisingly, contains variables involved in two different rules, and the combination of those rules creates the restriction that prevents them from being assigned to the same panel.
