A. As investors are demanding companies to actively manage their business portfolios, executives must increasingly balance investment opportunities against the capital that's available to finance them
B. As investors demand that companies actively manage their business portfolios, executives must increasingly balance investment opportunities against the capital that's available to finance these opportunities

It cannot be an ongoing action. Simple past is always the case for general actions. Also "them" is ambiguous. B. Correct usage of the command subjunctive.
C. Should cannot be used in "bossy verbs that: subjunctive" construction.
D. "Due to" which is a noun modifier and must ALWAYS be replacable with "Caused by" is illogical.
