Explanation

When a company expands into multiple countries through a merger, the most significant and unavoidable driver of policy change is differing legal and regulatory requirements. Many countries have strong data-privacy laws (e.g., GDPR in the EU, local labor law protections in various regions) that strictly limit or prohibit the type of broad employee monitoring that may be acceptable in the acquiring company's home country. Violating these laws carries legal and financial penalties. Option A (time to merge systems) is an operational concern, not a reason to change a monitoring policy. Option C (staffing) is a resource problem that can be addressed without changing the policy. Option D (consolidating policies) is a natural process during a merger but is driven by the legal requirements described in B, making B the root cause.
