5-- by deciding at its reorganization in 1958 on the selling of

I think "on credit" underlining is a typo. Assuming this I will go with C.
First decision was taken to sell on credit then reorganization was done to cater that decision. So we need "decision to sell"
Only A and C has that. A is using "deciding", which is incorrect.

I'd go with D.
broke... to sell on credit is correct idiomatically as oppose to broke ... for the decision ... to sell on credit.

Yes, clearly (D). in v~ing conveys the same meaning as the reason for doing X.

Me too join team 'D'.
But I think this is not a very good SC. I didn't like 'in deciding' in 'D'.
