I too thought that same way that option C is correct, but on comparing the two sentences, D sounds more accurate. C would be correct if 'its' is removed after the blank.
Correct me, if I am wrong.

Option D is apt. There is no choice to confound anymore.
Afford is inappropriate because it should be used in positive sentences.
And in option A "removed" is inappropriate because assets cannot be removed.

Keep up-->Maintain a required pace or level. Here we are talking about longer period of time.
Afford-->Have the financial means to do something or buy something. It means one may do something now but in future he may not be able to do.
So option D fits well.
