2015 NFHS Part 1 Exam Ques #3

[prab]

I am new to the forum and am looking for some guidance.

Wisconsin allows us to print out a working copy of the exam. The exam is then completed at a later time online. Question #3 on this year's Part 1 exam doesn't seem to be written very well:

A catcher's helmet is considered legal if it has:

A. A smooth surface.
B. A dent.
C. A glare surface.
D. A rough surface.

Now a new rule prohibits a glare surface, so answer C is obviously not correct.

Rule 1-7 Catcher's Equipment fails to mention smooth surface, dent or rough surface. (Dented batting helmets are illegal per 1-6, but not mentioned in 1-7.)

Although my working copy of the exam does not so state, previous NFHS multiple choice questions have asked for only one answer.

If the question had said "considered ILLEGAL" then C would have been the correct choice.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?
