By applying optimization techniques commonly used to plan operations, 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.

OA is B.

Don't you think ITS GOALS means Company's Goals?
You cannot use the word 'it' after the initial section of the sentence 'By applying optimization techniques commonly used to plan operations,' because it is ambiguous. You don't know what the 'it' is. 'It' could be the 'company's products' goals, or the company's goals or anything else. That eliminates a,c,d. Then finally b is better because of the overly wordy way that they've phrased 'the company's goals in both the short and long term' you can use 'its' to substitute for the company here because in this clause it has a proper referent.

The first phrase should modify or refer to the respective subject. It says, " By applying optimization techniques commonly used to plan operations" . Who is optimizing? It is the manager.

Hence, we are left with B and E. E is very lengthy and sounds bit passive.

Therefore, B is the right answer.
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group
