Well said Mike. For example, Politicians often adopt a strategy and no progress is ever made!

I received a private message about this thread.
The company has decided to do this. Not "Pro-Tect is considering a discount"; not "Pro-Tect may offer a discount"; etc. They have already adopted the strategy. (The degree to which they have already implemented it is immaterial.)
If this is unclear, just think about the implications if a woman tells her man, "I've decided to leave you." It's like that. She has definitely "adopted the strategy".

I am still not clear why does choice A say that "the second presents a strategy that WAS ADOPTED instead"..
Doesn't the passage say that "Pro-Tect has a Plan to do so and later discuss the possible advantages of this strategy after it will be adopted" ?
Pro-Tect has decided to offer a discount
