Profits

by Mayur Sand » Fri Jul 17, 2009 5:15 pm
716. The company announced that its profits declined much less in the second quarter than analysts had expected it to and its business will improve in the second half of the year.
(A) had expected it to and its business will improve
(B) had expected and that its business would improve
(C) expected it would and that it will improve its business
(D) expected them to and its business would improve
(E) expected and that it will have improved its business

OA is B but i thought since profits is plural so we cant use "it" as used in B . Kindly explain all the choices
