B) An executive [who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past, ]makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear. =>disrupt the original sentence meaning

D)Executives' being heavily committed to a course of action, [especially if it has worked well in the past, ]makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear. =>too many them thereby hard to differentiate

这道题目比较难的是快速的分割出主谓宾。所以把原句中的主谓宾分割后，其实语义是很容易理解并且很容易选出正确选项的。
