The question basically says that the company is wasting its money in another financial operation;

As such, it was not able to invest wisely and adopted stringent standards

The synonym of D is A

So the answers are A and D

Carcass I feel the usage of 'inexperienced enough to adopt' here is slightly confusing. They must be inexperienced enough to adopt a great spending policies. Can you explain the usage of such sentences?

Hi sir

I did not get frankly. do you mean the blank inserted is not clear? or the sentence as a whole or part of the sentence or BOTH?

In my opinion, inexperienced enough to adopt = did not adopt. So, the answers should be did not adopt "a miserly or a stringent" policy and because of this, it exhausted its erstwhile surplus
