    C improvement as a result of cost-cutting measures Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D increase in the number of products launched Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A merger often results in cost-cutting measures, which typically lead to improved profitability.

    (1) decrease due to internal restructuring – possible, but the context does not suggest a downturn.

    (2) plateau, with no noticeable change – contradicts the idea of a significant change.

    (3) improvement as a result of cost-cutting measures – logical and common outcome in such scenarios.

    (4) increase in the number of products launched – doesn’t directly connect to profits.
