B

the CFO highlighted the projections for the next fiscal year.

C

the meeting was dominated by the CFO's projections for the next fiscal year.

D

it was the CFO who highlighted the projections for the next fiscal year.

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. The introductory phrase "Presenting his findings" describes an action performed by a person. "The CFO" is the correct subject.

Choice A is incorrect because "the projections" cannot present findings. Choice C is incorrect because "the meeting" cannot present findings. Choice D is incorrect because "it" cannot present findings.
