The correct answer is A.

Only answer A uses Cillian's definition of the word. The company would be at its lowest point when its stock was worthless and people fired.

Answer B doesn't make sense, as "the lowest point" wouldn't be on top of the trees. Answer C doesn't work, as one wouldn't be able to see a panorama at the lowest point. Answer D doesn't work, as she wouldn't be satisfied with the lowest score possible.
