选项 A、citywide
B、countrywide
C、nationwide
D、worldwide

答案D

解析 词汇辨析题。根据语义场复现选择可以得出本题正确答案。本段第二句在对跨国公司进行解释时就提到了a global perspective in its management(在管理方面具有全球视角)。本句中又出现了这一概念,很容易得出这里也应该选择一个与global同义的形容词。worldwide意为"全球的",与global是同义词,为本题答案。citywide意为"全市性的";countrywide意为"全国的";nationwide意为"全国性的"。句中没有使用这三个词的具体语境,故排除。
