Correct Answer :

Option B

Only (A)-(B)

Solution :

The correct answer is Only (A)-(B).

To determine the correct arrangement of the words, let me analyze the context of each word in bold:

1. Position (A) - "launched": In business context, revenues are achieved or earned, not "launched". Thus, "launched" is incorrectly placed here.
2. Position (B) - "achieved": A new product line is launched into the market, not "achieved". Thus, "achieved" is incorrectly placed here.
3. Position (C) - "capture": The phrase "to capture a larger share" is appropriate and grammatically correct.
4. Position (D) - "market": The phrase "share of the market" is standard and logically sound.

By swapping the words at positions (A) and (B), we get:
"The startup has achieved (A) record revenues in the last quarter and has now launched (B) a new product line to capture (C) a larger share of the market (D)."

This sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Therefore, the required interchange is Only (A)-(B).
