The normative model of strategic decision-making suggests that executives examine a firm’s external environment and internal conditions, and in using the set of objective criteria they derive from these analyses, can decide on a strategy.

A.      conditions, and in using the set of objective criteria they derive from these analyses, can decide

B.      conditions, and they use the set of objective criteria derived from these analyses in deciding

C.      conditions, and, in using the set of objective criteria derived from these analyses,  deciding

D.      conditions and, using the set of objective criteria derived from these analyses, decide

E.       conditions, and in their use the set of objective criteria they derive from these analyses, decide

我选的是  C 答案是D 

C 有明显的缺陷阿， and 这个连词 前后的结构不对称... 前面是一个完整的主谓结构，后面是分词结构 这是明显的语法错误

D没什么不对阿，文章的意思是 决策的规范模型建议执行官们检视公司的外部环境和内部状态，并且利用源于上述分析的一系列客观标准作出战略决定。

用词，结构都很正确

我觉得就应该是D

A，and 加介词短语不妥，且不对称，they 指代不清。B，they指代不清，逻辑错误，use sth in doing sth 错误

C：examine... and deciding 不对称 D，examine and decide 对称 。E and 位置错误，导致and 前后不对称，且examine与decide 两个动词间没有连词，这样排除后，答案为D

唯一，我觉得D有点不好的是，using the 。。。不知是否会有歧义，还有逻辑主语上是从句主语还是句子主语呢？
