This questions restricts the possibilities for T’s website target. It now can’t be 3, because it has to be smaller than the voicemail target (instead of smaller or equal).
T’s website target also can’t be 1, because rule 2 says T’s website target has to be bigger than S’s website target.
So this is the only possibility. T’s website target is 2, and their voicemail target is 3. S’s website target is 1:
At this point, you could try to see if anything else has to be true….but that looks complicated.
When you make a deduction, it’s better to scan the answers and see if you already solved the question.
In fact, this diagram does solve the question! E is CORRECT.

If we follow this deduction out don’t we end up with (c)? S voicemail must then be 2 or 1 but in order to accommodate for I’s voicemail being shorter than S or T, doesn’t that force S(v) =2, I(v) and I(w) =1?

No so actually we can’t determine anything about I with certainty. For “must be true” questions, we need a hundred percent certainty.
If Tw is shorter than Tvm, then we get this chain:
Sw < Tw < Tvm All of this is 100% certain since rule 3 tells us that Sw is shorter than Tw. For all three of these to be different lengths, then they would have to be 1, 2, and 3 days respectively. Right now, we can't determine anything for I. All we know about I is that Iw < Ivm < Svm/Tvm, and that Sw < Svm. That still leaves too many possibilities.
