B. because doing that allows them to make independent, courageous, but even unpopular business decisions
C. because doing so allows them to make independent, courageous, and even unpopular business decisions
D. because doing so allow him to make independent, courageous, and even unpopular business decisions
E. because doing these allows them to make independent, courageous, as well as unpopular business decisions It, that and these cannot be used here because they lack logical antecedents. Also, this is commonly tested on the gmat. Only "so" can stand for "action" phrases, which in this case is "internalize the principles...." That leaves us with C and D. D is gross because of "him" "him" is ambiguous, singular and also kind of sexist  C is the correct answer

C. because doing so allows them to make independent, courageous, and even unpopular business decisions
D. because doing so allow him to make independent, courageous, and even unpopular business decisions
E. because doing these allows them to make independent, courageous, as well as unpopular business decisions ...because doing so is correct expression, leaving two answers C and D. In addition, D uses pronoun him, which is incorrect. So the answer is C.
