Hey,

Statement says that people don't know if their actions are leagal or not under vague laws and in turn people can not feel secure.

If u reverse it and says.

" People can feel secure only if they knew that their actions are legal means they are not under vague laws.

However, in C 'only if condition is not there'. They can feel secure for other reasons also.

Let me know if you have any doubt

This type of question"”depending entirely on perfectly formal, Boolean-type logic"”is irrelevant to the GMAT.
More generally, this is the problem with using LSAT questions to study for the GMAT: the skill sets tested are entirely different.
