On problem number 77 on the 1996 Physics GRE test that is now available for practice, I believe there are two answer choices that are completely equivalent.

The test is here:
http://www.stanford.edu/group/sps/files/GR9677.pdf

I think answer choice (d) reduces down to choice (b), and I don't see anything barring me from making the algebraic simplifications. Is it really possible that ETS made a mistake that hasn't been found/reported or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help
