The sentence means that the White House has lied about the benefits of the reform because, although they define it "tough love", it was not loving at all.
Then the two words most similar to the meaning of liar are "disingenuous" and "mendacious". Answers C and E

C and E mean false. The White House plan was not tough love but only tough.
So, it was fake to describe it as kind. Indeed, a liar.
Hope now is clear to you.

There is only 1 synonym pair. Disingenuous and mendacious. both also fit the meaning that the white house did lie about the benefits.
Hence answer is Disingenuous and mendacious
Hence answer is Disingenuous and mendacious
