A corporate legal memo is being drafted to outline the obligations of a subsidiary company. The document's language must be formal, precise, and unambiguous. One of the sentences in the draft reads: 'The subsidiary has got to maintain a minimum capital reserve of $5 million at all times.' An external linguistic consultant reviews the document and flags this sentence for revision, arguing that the phrasing is inappropriate for the context of a formal legal document, despite being grammatically correct in a general sense.

Why is the consultant's recommendation to revise the sentence most likely justified in this specific context?

Alternativa A:
The structure 'has got to' is exclusively used in American English and would be improper in a document for a UK-based company.
Alternativa B:
The phrase 'has got to' implies a moral obligation rather than a legal one, which could lead to misinterpretation.
Alternativa C:
In formal and legal registers, 'must' or 'is required to' are strongly preferred over the more informal 'has got to' to express obligation.
Alternativa D:
The use of 'got' is grammatically incorrect when referring to financial requirements and should be replaced with 'obtained'.
Alternativa E:
The structure 'has got to' cannot be used in affirmative statements, only in negative and interrogative forms in legal writing.
