Inefficient businesses will die out, so they must adapt to survive. Adapting sometimes requires changing a business’s core philosophy. Therefore, businesses sometimes need to become different businesses in order to survive.

There’s a gap between the focus in the premise on businesses adapting their core philosophy, and the conclusion’s claim that a business must become a different business to survive. There is a missing assumption that is needed to fill that gap - something that says that businesses that change their core philosophy become different businesses.

This is too strong - the argument states that these changes are only sometimes required. Stating that they are required for all businesses is not necessary to get to that conclusion.

This is too strong. The argument is about how some businesses must change to survive - it does not need the claim that this happens to all businesses that become less efficient.

This is not relevant to the argument, which focuses only on the fact that businesses must change their core philosophies. The fact that these corporations start with different philosophies is not directly connected to the argument.

The argument is focused on what will happen when a business changes its core corporate philosophy - a claim about what will happen if they keep it intact is not relevant.

This fills the missing gap in the argument by providing a connection between the necessary change a corporation must make and the claim that that corporation becomes a different corporation. If this were negated, then changing core corporate philosophy would not mean that the business became a different corporation.
