3y ago#1I would think the right answer is B. A and C are wrong.
The use of the term "business efficiency" might be difficult. Here, it really means economic efficiency meaning that contracts are placed with the most suitable companies not those who pay bribes.
can't C be the answer as the place is common for bribery
