OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
If the CEO fired the advertising company and brought in a new one, you can logically infer that she believed the advertising campaign would have a negative impact upon her company's reputation. This is confirmed by the straight-ahead road sign "so" that begins the second clause, which indicates that both clauses share a negative charge. Choices (A) sullied, "stained or impure" and (F) marred, "made imperfect," are negatively charged words, and both make sense in the context of the sentence.
