IMO -b
here in this,the part of sentence miss the word firm.
In the original sentence we don't know of whose survival we are talking about.

so the only option is b and d
consider the part 'such firms tends to be ..'

and so it must be firms to survive ..

You need "firms" in the first part of the sentence.

Only B does that.
