A. its ability for improving its efficiency and capturing-> Improving and capturing are parallel. and, "its" refer can to company. Let's re-read it, company's ability for improving company's efficiency and capturing. It doesn't make sense.
B. whether it can improve its efficiency and capture-> Improve and capture are parallel. and, "it/its" refer can to company. Let's re-read it, company can improve company's efficiency and capture. It is better. Let's keep it. Note- In idiom "whether on not", "or not" is often not used. It is correct here.
C. if it can improve its efficiency and capture-> "if" is incorrect to use. To use "if" we need future tense further.
D. whether or not it has the ability to improve its efficiency and can capture-> "to improve" and "can capture" are not parallel.
E. the ability for it to improve its efficiency and capture->Let's re-read it. the economic viability of the company depends on the ability for company to improve....Doesn't make sense.
So, I think B.

I wonder how option B is answer as "whether" is not followed by "or".
