This is the best choice here. "Up until now" is an expression which indicates a period of time in the past which leads up to the present moment. Susie is expressing that the public image of Delavigne Corporation has been positive "up until now". The phrase Susie uses also implies that if the Delavigne Corporation continues to exploit cheap labor, their image or reputation will be damaged in the future.
This is not the best choice. Delavigne's image has been positive in the past (up until now), and this includes the present or current moment. It would be inaccurate to say that Delavigne's image is currently "suffering".
This is not the best choice. Delavigne's image has been positive in the past (up until now), but it might change if they continue to exploit cheap labor.
This is not the best choice. Delavigne's image has been positive until now, but it might change if they continue to exploit cheap labor. This is what Susie is expressing here.

This statement is false. There is no information in the article which states that Pedro Sanchez received a job offer from Harold Warbuckle before leaving for the US.
This statement is false. The article refers to "indiscretions" committed by Harold Warbuckle and mentions 3 scandals that he has been involved with. It would be incorrect to say that Warbuckle has had no problems with the media. An "indiscretion" refers to a mistake or an error.

This is a true statement. The article states that Harold Warbuckle "has been sheltering illegal immigrants on his huge ranch", and that "Mexican immigrants without papers are working... on his estate." An "illegal immigrant" enters a country without the legal authorisation to live and work there. "To shelter (someone)" is to protect them or give them refuge. The terms "ranch" and "estate" refer to large pieces of land.
