DUNK大神给的题 疑问

After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it would be forced to accept a one billion dollar loss, an expense that would have forced its main competitor to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(A)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it would be forced to accept a one billion dollar loss, an expense that would have forced its main competitor to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(B)    As the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it accepted a one billion dollar loss; forcing its main competitor to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(C)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, its one billion dollar loss would have to be accepted; such a loss would have forced its main competitor to declare bankruptcy.

(D)    After the company recalled one of its best-selling products, it was forced to accept a one billion dollar loss; its main competitor would have been forced to declare bankruptcy if it had suffered such a loss.

(E)    When the company recalled one of its best-selling products, a one billion dollar loss it was forced to accept, an expense that would have forced its main competitor into bankruptcy.

OA D这个题official解释是因为这是一个已经发生的事情了，所以A中的would就不对（官方全解释：You can start with the verbs. We begin with After the company recalled and then move to it would be forced, but since the sentence is talking about something that already happened, the second verb should be it was forced. Eliminate (A) and (C). You can also eliminate (E) for offering the strange variation a one billion dollar loss it was forced to accept. (B) is wrong because it creates a sentence fragment. Make sure you know this fact: a semicolon is correct only when it joins two pieces that could stand as independent and complete sentences. In other words, you can use a semicolon only if you could use a period at the same place and still have complete sentences. (B) doesn't do that, so (D) remains.）对于这种题我总是判断不好，因为这种没有特定性的词形容现象时，我会错认为作者想说的就是一个假设。表达如果怎么样，would怎么怎么样，这个题要是开头的词是特定的，比如the coke-cole company ，我还能理解为是发生的事实，但是就是这种通篇都是非限定的名词的我总会认为是假设。大家有没有什么好方法来判断具体的内容呢？ 先谢过！

我觉得是这样的
前半部分在说已经发生的客观事实，后半部分在假设

A        最后的ITS 就可以秒杀A。

B  E            整个后面的句子彻底乱了，修饰错误，也很饶。

开始我 C D 武断了选了C

C   句子很清晰，我潜意识以为C 中its one billion dollar loss 不是由这个实施recall的campany买单的，而是由它的competitor承担，

D  很清晰明了，我只是看D跟C意思不同，认为C是OA所要的答案。。~

那如果这样的话 不就应该使用would了么？ 官方解释不是介样啊！

多谢回答啊，但我其实就是想知道一下官方解释里面那个关于真实还是假设这个情况怎么判断？ 我一开始也想了想时态问题，但越想越绕。
