if you see the occurence of ' such firms' in the later part of the sentence, half your problem is solved.
'such firms' need to refer to something.

A)to survive [ no referrent for ' such firms']

(B) of firms to survive [ correct!]

(C) for surviving [ no referrent for ' such firms']

(D) for survival [ same error as in C]

(E) for firm's survival [ same problem as in C. firm's survival is different from firms to survive]

Hope this helps!
