Explanation:

- Part A: "The cutting down on costs" is grammatically correct. It uses a gerund phrase as the subject of the verb.

- Part B: "was the main reason for the firm to survive" is correct but slightly awkward. "For the firm to survive" can sound better as "the firm’s survival."

- Part C: "even during a very difficult period." is grammatically correct and completes the sentence well.

- Part D - No error option: This option states that there is no error in any part of the sentence, which seems appropriate if considering minor stylistic preferences as not errors.

Correct Answer: 4 - D
