Explanation

(4) is grammatically the most correct option. (1) and (3) are incorrect because of wrong phrasal usage (correct usage will be 'tightened its belt'). (2) is incorrect because of wrong sentence structure ('was make' be replaced with 'was made'). (5) is incorrect because of violation of subject verb agreement ('have' should be replaced with 'has').
