The author concludes that businesses often have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act. She supports this by saying that the short-term and long-term interests of a business often conflict, and when they do, the morally preferable act is usually the one that serves the long-term interest.

The author’s conclusion is about businesses having compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act, but her premises don’t mention compelling reasons at all. To get from her premises to her conclusion, the author must assume that serving their long-term interests gives businesses compelling reasons for executing an act.

Since the morally preferable act is usually the one that serves the long-term interest, this would guarantee the conclusion that businesses often have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act.

We need information about what does provide businesses with compelling reasons for executing an act. The fact that their moral interest don’t always provide such reasons doesn’t help to prove that businesses often have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act.

The morally preferable act is usually the one that serves the long-term interest. If serving long-term interests often gives businesses compelling reasons for executing an act, this guarantees the conclusion that they often have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act.

The fact that it doesn’t conflict with their long-term interests tells us nothing about whether businesses have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act.

This tells us nothing about whether businesses have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act. Instead of (D), we need to establish that serving their long-term interests gives businesses compelling reasons to execute an act.

Even if morality isn’t usually an overriding consideration, we still need to know why businesses have compelling reasons to execute the morally preferable act.
