D) both variants are wrong.

There is an example at the beginning (0).

“There are four people working close together in the first office. It (0) must/ could (B)be a newspaper office as these people seem to be gathering and furnishing the latest news, but it’s difficult to say exactly what kind of business it is as there are no unmistakable signs in this picture. It (1) can’t / must be on the ground floor because there is a lot of light coming in, so it’s highly (2) likely / possible that it’s an office block. There are two people talking on the phone. If it is a newspaper office, they (3) a) may / b) might be discussing some startling news with the reporters, or if they work in some business they (3) may / might be having a conversation with their clients. The woman on the right (4) must / might be the boss as she’s telling the man something in an authoritative manner, probably giving orders. Or she is just some knowledgeable figure in the company giving advice to her co-worker. In any case, there is little interaction shown here, only between these two people in the middle ground. (5) Therefore / Thereupon, the work these people are doing (6) must / should be mostly individual, not teamwork.

The second photograph features a much quieter office where collaborative projects are obviously a priority. The people (7) have to / ought to be working on some design together. We can judge by the sketches laid out in front of the woman. They (8) must / can equally be architects or designers. It (9) must / should be a creative profession because they are dressed casually. They (10) might / can have even invented something connected to the designs since they are devouringly discussing it. Their enthusiasm is unflagging. They (11) might / must well have come across a problem but it seems (12) impossible / unlikely to be a serious one as they don’t look worried. Even if they have faced a problem, they are (13) possibly / probably not too worried about the solution as they seem quite relaxed. (14) Unlike / Contrary to the previous picture, here the level of interaction is high.”
