参考答案

正确答案：C
解析：根据题干关键词settlement，Authors Guild，Google定位到原文第六段最后两句：As a result, we were able to work together to devise a settlement that accomplishes our shared vision. While this settlement is a win-win for authors, publishers and Google, the real winners are the readers who will now have access to a greatly expanded world of books. 和第七段首句：There has been some debate about the settlement, and many groups have offered their opinions, both for and against. 可知最终谷歌图书、作者、出版人之间达成了共赢的协议，但是人们对此褒贬不一，C项符合文意。
