Correct idiom is "decline in sales of" this eliminates all options except B and D.

Option D the threat and the decline [ parallelism ]

OA?

I choose C

I guess, the question is trying to test these/them apart from Sub/Verb agreement

after including, one needs to have subjective case rather than objective
(See O.G 11 q89)

I think you want to emphasize on the usage of These Vs Them

These - subjective case

Them - objective case

In this question

main clause

subject = investors
verb = heard
direct object = presentation
indirect object = challenges

"them or these" refer to challenges therefore we need "them" = objective pronoun case instead of "these" = subjective pronoun case.

Let me know if you think otherwise.

Thanks.

What kind of modifier is the sentence after comma ?
ofcourse it is modifying "numerous challanges", but does it not require verb?

is the modifier appositive?

Can somebody pls explain this with the help of examples as this is a common pattern.
