Explanation
The blank is about the first steps taken as part of the strategy of organization. The clues indicate that these steps were among many required steps and were therefore undertaken first and immediately. Thus, they were the most immediate of the required steps. Choices (C)
and (D) indicate the immediacy and importance of the steps, and are correct.
Choice (A) does not reflect the clue, and choice (B) is the opposite of the word you need and incorrect. There is no information in the sentence to support the remaining choices.
Hence options C and D fits!
