I'm going with A. Competing with major global competitors is a textbook reason for expanding internationally. It's all about staying ahead of the curve.

D. Favorable trade agreements and government policies seem like the most obvious 'not a reason' here. Corporations are definitely looking to take advantage of those kinds of policies.

I think the answer is C. Shortage of particular resources is not a reason for accelerating global expansion. Corporations are more likely to expand globally to gain access to new markets and resources.
