With at least $120 billion per year spent on outsourcing and much more at stake when considering productivity improvements and savings, ensuring that outsourcing works has become a top priority for management professionals.
Correct answer A
Meaning analysis: Ensuring outsourcing works has become a top priority (Why?), because 120 billion dollars are spent on outsourcing and productivity improvement/savings considerations has put much more on stake.
Grammar analysis: The original sentence is correct.

Incorrect: This option changes the meaning. It seems to imply that ensuring that outsourcing works has a purpose to spend all the 120 billion dollars, rather than treating it as a liability. Secondly , + and makes it a separate clause and hence there is missing verb error in this option

D. Having at least $120 billion per year spent on outsourcing, and much more at stake when considering

'comma + and' implies that much more at stake when considering stands as an independent sentence, however it cannot stand as an independent sentence
