Corporate finance committees do not plan the detailed activities of the various divisions in a large firm, but
by their allocation or investment funds they make strategic judgment as to where the firm should expand.

A)By their allocation of investment funds they make strategic judgments as to where firm should expand.
B)When they allocate investment funds, they make strategic judgments about where the firm might be expanding.
C)They make strategic judgments on where the firm should expand when they allocate investment funds.
D)By allocating investment funds, they will make strategic judgments about where the firm be expanding.
E)Allocation of investments funds as to where the firm should expand as a strategic judgment.

OA A
A conjunction may be used to indicate the relationship between the ideas expressed in a clause and the ideas expressed in the rest of a sentence. In this sentence, BUT is used as a coordinating conjunction. ( I sounds like Verbal expert here!) , but gives equal importance to the phrase it is followed. This rule eliminates E since it is not not an independent clause.

B changes the meaning of the original sentence by using "might be expanding"

C changes the meaning.

D uses WILL which changes the meaning by adding CERTAINTY meaning. And also firm be expanding is awkward.

But, aren't we supposed to beware of passive constructions ?

Although C changes the meaning of the sentence but isn't it appropriate as well??

I agree with Rohan, "But" is a parallelism marker and introduces a dependent clause and the subject of the 2nd clause should be the parallel to the main clause.
Is A correct, "their" is a possesive pronoun and shouldn't "They " be used instead.

IMO C.

Isn't "but" a coordinate conjunction and introduces independent clause ? if that's the case then 'C' should be correct.
