Brochures are just a smaller book which have some informations about the success of other firms, therefore it can only be used as a guild and a guranted ways to further a firm's interests.

Option D - INCORRECT.
Well, the military strategy and financial strategy which differ in name only are not the main reason in the argument. Therefore, don't not worth a conclusion.
