Tax breaks

Supporters of tax breaks that local governments award to businesses each year to prevent them from moving consider them vital economic development tools while critics denounce the tax breaks as corporate welfare that helps some localities but weakens the national economy.

A- Supporters of tax breaks that local governments award TO businesses each year to prevent them from moving consider them vital economic development tools


C - Supporters of tax breaks that local governments award businesses each year to prevent them from moving consider them vital economic development tools

Choice is not different except the use of TO in A.

A - SUPPORTERS of tax breaks ...CONSIDER them vital economic development tools
D - SUPPORTERS CONSIDER tax breaks ...VITAL economic development tools

In D it is clear what supporters consider vital eco tools - this is bcoz TAX BREAKS come immediately after CONSIDER. But the same is not true in A - THEM is far from consider and there are many other nouns/pronoun that come before THEM that it can refer to.

Hope it helps.
