题目分析：
略。

选项分析：

A选项：划线部分的代词it应该同未划线部分出现的its指代对象相同，即，the company，但是，在逻辑上，在过去两年内下降的应该是公司的利润（its profits）而不是公司本身（the company）。

B选项：时态有误，had increased是过去完成时，过去完成时必须存在于有明确的过去时间点作为参照的语境中，即，表示过去的过去，本句中由于没有明确的过去时间作为参照，所以此处不能用过去完成时；it错误同(A)。

C选项：Correct. 本选项在语法上和逻辑上均是正确的。

D选项：本选项中的介词短语with a five percent increase是状语（用逗号和主句隔开的介词短语通常都是状语）。顾名思义，状语是用来修饰动词的特性或特征的。在逻辑上，“增长了5%”描述的是profit的特点，而不是be evident的特征，由于profits是名词，所以“增长了5%”必须做profits的定语。

E选项：本选项错误同(D)。
