Correct answer: C
Key insight: arrange the parts so the subject comes first, followed by the verb phrase, then the complement, and finally any adverbial phrase.
Identify the subject: "The CEO."
Find the verb phrase: "was not scared."
Attach the complement: "of making the right decision."
Place the concessive adverbial at the end: "despite a loss in profits."
Correct sentence: The CEO was not scared of making the right decision despite a loss in profits.
Therefore the correct order of the four parts is: a, c, b, d — which yields the sentence above.
