I think you left out part of the instructions for part a. Given what it says in part b...the instructions for part a should also include: "Write an inequality statement using the variable c"...or some similar sentence.

The length of a crab that must be thrown back must be less than 5 inches
                        c                                                 <                 5

c < 5
