will go with D.
If u pick simple answers than its easier to look at the problem
Total taxable income = 100$
Contribution from more 100mil$ of income = 53$ ------a
Contribution from 10 or more countries = 63$ ----------b
Its clear (63 + 53) < 100
Thus there is an overlap between a & b, which is stated in D.
Praet kindly let me know of correct answer, so that i am clear whether this approach (recently discovered) is correct.

Official answer is E.
But a very brilliant friend of mine pointed out that D should be the answer.
Vicks, i think 63 should be 60..was that a typo?
Thanks

My answer is D too.
E cant be right. Most? How much is most? We know that there is overlap between the income from 10 or more countries and income over $100mm
This is a tough question. I wonder what the source is.
