(d) Acknowledgement of deceit increases the stock price of companies. Options (a),(b) and (c) are incorrect because all three are dependent on the premise that the stock price of Herbalife rose when its deceit was exposed. But, the opening line of the paragraph suggests that it happened when Herbalife accepted to pay the fine which means, when it acknowledged its deceit. Option (e) is irrelevant as there is no mention of a court. The federal commission of Trade only was concerned.
