Please check my answers for this passage.

The Claims Division has been moved to our new location in Connecticut. This move gave us the chance to achieve the required reduction in personnel. We have cut back the staff from 15 to 8 employees.

We were able to meet the reduction goals due to the fact that two employees retired, since they were at the legal retirement age of 60. Furthermore, two more employees chose to take early retirement at 50 and 55 when we offered a good financial incentive. This monetary encouragement was equal to two years of their annual salary.

Of the remaining three, one worker took a year-long leave to have a baby, another left the company to return to university, and the third was fired for sharing company secrets. None of these workers will be replaced.

Therefore, I am happy to report that, with very few problems and very little financial loss, we have met our reduction goals in the Claims Division.

Next month, we will be working to meet new reduction goals in the Marketing Division as "it" makes its planned move to the Connecticut location.

Look at the word "it" in the report. Who or what does "it" refer to?
(A) the Claims Division in the Connecticut office
(B) goals for reducing the number of employees
(C) the Marketing Division
(D) the plans for moving to the Connecticut office
My answer is C
