You have to think in broad terms, not in single game terms.

I also agree it is poorly worded

I can see where you're coming from with your response, however consider this: If a coach asks you, "Hey, Blue. Can my FLEX bat in any of the 9 spots?" what's your response going to be? That's why I have "c" as being a "correct" answer. Of course, we all know that they can only bat in the DP's spot. (JEL: when the FLEX bats, she is NOT the DP. Don't fall into that line of thinking. It can only get you into trouble.) There is only one spot in the lineup in which a FLEX can ever bat: the DP's spot. So, that is false and "e" is false, as well.
