SV on A,B,C : Company == singular. Need to use pronoun "it"
E is wrong because usage of "being" is unnecessary. Also the past perfect usage is not required at the end of the sentence.

D remains.

When the company released its flagship product in 1988, they had already built a worldwide distribution system comprising six geographical regions based on customer demand for its existing catalogue.


(A) they had already built a worldwide distribution system comprising six geographical regions based on customer demand for Incorrect

(B) they already had built a worldwide distribution system comprising six geographical regions that was based on customer demand made of Incorrect

(C) they already had built a worldwide distribution system that comprised six geographical regions based on demand by customers for Incorrect

(D) it had already built a worldwide distribution system that comprised six geographical regions based on customer demand for Correct

(E) it already had built a worldwide distribution system comprising six geographical regions being based on customer demand it had for Incorrect


POE -

the company singular, they plural
eliminate A, B & C

E - double had and being uses wrong

So, Answer D
