If the corporate bureaucracy persists in its discriminatory hiring and job advancement practices, its chief executives will expose themselves to class-action litigation by the groups prejudiced thereby.

(A) its chief executives will expose themselves
(B) its chief executives would expose themselves
(C) their chief executives will expose themselves
(D) its chief executives themselves would become exposed
(E) the chief executives will, by themselves, be exposed

We need a passive construction since chief executive wouldn't expose themselves with their own will. They would be exposed because of something.

Thus A is Out. C is Out for SV disagreement.

In B and D usage of would is incorrect. The action of then is going to happen in the future with all likelihood if the if-clause thing happens. Hence the usage of will is appropriate.

Therefore E - Answer.

D is incorrect
