I pick (D) the first mentions a phenomenon that led to the situation which is described in the second to support the author’s main point.

conclusion/main point: The long-term financial stability of big multinational companies is in clear danger.

phenomenon (a kind of behavior): directors tend to put more emphasis on immediate rather than far-off benefits and judge the rest of the personnel on the same quick-advantage principle.

situation: managers often make populist decisions which can prove detrimental to the well-being of the company in the long run.
