How is it E? If the event includes a lunch program, a reminder will not be required. It should be B

Agreed, I think 'I' is incorrect. It should read: "Unless told, lunch MUST be provided".

The sentence itself emphasis on providing lunch. So, Statement 1 is not implicit.

There is "may be" in the sentence, so 1 can not be implicit.

Agreed! I think "1" is not implicit.
