accounting and cost management - hence plural. Eliminate D and E
because of the and, eliminate A since it says "an example", these are two examples
In the same vein, eliminate C - "examples of a financial field"

Official Explanation:
This sentence is testing you on the knowledge of singular and plural subjects. Remember that we have a compound subject—accounting and cost-management—so the verb needs to be plural as well. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
A. Two things can be examples and not an example.
C. The singular financial field does not agree with the compound subject.
D. The singular financial field does not agree with the compound subject.
E. The pronoun they has no logical referent.
