The best answer is D. In the first paragraph, the author outlines a business strategy, “developing integrated approaches for successful mass production and distribution.” The rest of the passage discusses the rivalry between Beta and VHS producers for control of the global VCR market, an illustration of the use of this strategy by VHS producers. The author briefly evaluates the two competing technologies and traces the impact of each on the market, but neither of these is the  passage’s primary concern, so A and B are incorrect.
Choice C is incorrect because no events are reinterpreted in the passage.
