原文是:

however, such women CEO's are still rare. In addition, the ideal of six CEO's (female or male)serving on the board of each the largest corporatations is realizable only if every CEO serves on six boards. This raises the specter of director overcommitment and the resultant dilution of contribution.

题目问ideal的含义？如何理解选择D: it might affect the quality of directors' service to corporations? 该选项应该是对应于原文的This raises the specter of director overcommitment and the resultant dilution of contribution.

但我不理解这句话. 请好心人把俺解释一下, 先谢了!

"Specter" basically means ghost. The highlighted text then means that there is the risk that (board) directors might overcommit themselves, resulting in diluted contribution by each director. The correct answer D rephrases such risk by stating that the quality of directors' service might be affected. "Ideal" has no unusual meaning here -- you may look it up (along with "specter") in the dictionary.
