Given that the plan in their opinion was decidedly tough and not loving at all,though not sure i think option c)disingenuous and e)mendacious would fit here.

Thank you

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

can someone pls explain it to me, how to get to C and E. I thought that it was witty and diplomatic, I couldnt see any word that would impart any idea of them lying.

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.
