''This sentence begins with a modifier, yet leaves absent who will be applying optimization techniques (This is termed a "dangling" modifier.) Also, the sentence is unnecessarily wordy in its use of the phrases “ought to” and “in both the short and long terms.”

(A) This choice incorrectly repeats the original sentence.

(B) CORRECT. The sentence correctly places “a company’s managers” adjacent to the modifier such that the meaning is clear, and the sentence is otherwise concise.''

it is possible to determine how much effort ought to be devoted to each of a company’s products in order to meet its goals in both the short and long terms

a company’s managers can determine how much effort should be dedicated to each of the company’s products in order to meet its short and long term goals

it can be determined by company managers how much effort ought to be devoted to each of the company’s products in order to meet its goals, both short and long term

it may be possible for company managers to determine how much effort should be dedicated to each of these products in order to meet the company’s short and long term goals

managers at a company can determine how much effort ought to be dedicated to each of these products in order to meet the company’s goals in both the short and long term
IMO E
choice is between B and E
now E can be eliminated because of "each of these products". the products have not been mentioned before and so these can't be used.

Also in B "its" refers to company's which is correct
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!
