• A. Become one
• B. Divide into two
• C. Dissolve
• D. Change owners
• E. Compete

Answer 1

The correct option is A Become one

'Merge' means to combine or cause to combine to form a single entity.

"the merchant bank merged with another broker"

In this context, "The two companies are going to merge by the first month of the year", 'merge' means become one or unite. Hence, option A is correct and the other options are incorrect as they do not provide the correct information.
