c. tracy wants to coach christopher to put less time into starting businesses and more time into managing them
d. tracy has been spying on christopher

Explanation:

• Option A: The passage has no info showing Tracy worked for Christopher's company, so A is wrong.
• Option B: Tracy says Christopher's new ventures are successful ("turns to gold") but his management style is criticized (investors say it "sucks", he's "mercurial", can't delegate, etc.). This implies Christopher is a skilled entrepreneur but has issues as a manager, matching B.
• Option C: Tracy's focus is on helping Christopher prove himself, not on reallocating time between starting and managing businesses, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: There's no indication Tracy was spying; she's offering help, so D is wrong.

Answer:

B. Tracy knows that, though he is a skillful entrepreneur, Christopher is dissatisfied with his failings as a manager
