The key to the correct answer is knowledge of usage of the idiom between X and Y and the understanding of the intended meaning.
The intended meaning is The takeover battle between two companies Stockton motors and Florida Boats ended when the Board of directors of Stockton motors used a certain strategy to defend the takeover. Moreover, the correct usage is Battle between Stockton Motors and Florida Boats and not between Stockton with Florida. In addition the latter distorts the meaning. Here goes the error analysis...
A. Idiom error as stated above.
B. Conveys a meaning that the corporation itself ended, whereas the intended meaning is that the battle ended.
C. Correct usage of the idiom and the sentence conveys the correct meaning.
D. Idiom error as stated above.
E. Conveys the meaning that Stockton Motors as well as the takeover battle ended. That's not the intended meaning.
I hope the explanation is detailed enough.
