Pronoun reference its- management- it
D was tough to eliminate, but stated an intention to expand is awkward.

b & e can be ruled out straightaway,because of pronoun referencing errors.
I thought option a) looked little awkward.->stated that they plan to expand....which is unnecessary. ( or is it actually ok? ...)
Anyways option a) uses they...their...
it ..should be better here since we are referring to management as a whole.(hint - its their collective decision to expand).
left with c and d.
I would chose d)..."on expanding" made me eliminate option c). Not sure about it though.

Boils down to C vs D.
"plan on expanding" is not wrong usage, but "plan to expand" is preferred usage. Even though the introduction of intention is wordy, its needed in this context.

a) .."it was" seems not correct. c) they have been - they doesnt have a clear reference.does it refer to televesion costs?. d) "so" - incorrect
left with b & e. i think if e) were like which is greater than it has been in it would have been a good answer choice. will chose b.

Q1- The pronoun refereence in non-underline portion refers to what as a subject? It's clear that, it refers to the later one as it talks about the proportion..
So C is out---X
E (E perfect here but in present, should ideally be HAD)...X
D----X (SO..does n't go in context, i was late SO i didn't come is something right usage)
My take is A: as it completes the sentence like spending in the presidential campaign of 1992 IS a greater proportion than it was in any previous elecetion
