d. The compensation expense associated with stock options reduced earnings by over 20% & potential dilution was almost 15%

Explanation:

The net income-pro forma is to the net income projected in future after all the stock options have been utilized.

The net income reduced to $43 million from $54 million

Reduction = 20%.

The number of shares increased by the number of stock options

10 million ≈ 15% of 68 million.
