(c) Order that the party not introduce into evidence—or otherwise rely upon, in support of any claim or defense—the evidence that was withheld.
(d) Order that the party not introduce into evidence, or otherwise use in the hearing, information obtained in discovery.
(e) Allow the use of secondary evidence to show what the evidence withheld would have shown.
