    Solution

    (d) We need an adjective here to modify the noun MANAGERS. The sentence talks about how the best sales managers are capable of bargaining for chunk of the company’s budget to benefit their own people. ADEPT, COMPETENT and EFFICIENT mean capable and will fit in the sentence. Thus, (d) is the right answer. A is incorrect as ADAPT means to adjust to new conditions. COMPETENCE is a noun and EFFICIENTLY is an adverb. Adopt means to accept or embrace.
