Answer:
Option A. There exist economies of scope between diversified business units

<u>Option D</u> is incorrect because when we acquire an organization it is the move of increase in risk portfolio because acquisitions are mostly not a sound investments and not a part of diversification strategy as the company is putting all the eggs in the single basket.
