This is incorrect. It is not the "green measures" or environmental initiatives which fell flat. Rather, it is Sigourney's "attempts" to ask Bruno about these measures which failed.
This is correct. Sigourney's "attempts" or "efforts" to ask Bruno about the green measures "fell flat". The expression "to fall flat" means "to fail", in other words Sigourney's efforts "did not succeed". Example: "The teacher's jokes always fell flat - nobody laughed at them".
This is incorrect. The expression "to fall flat" is unrelated to the value of a company's stocks or shares.
This is incorrect. Sigourney writes that her attempts to encourage Bruno to talk about the environmental initiatives "fell flat". The expression "to fall flat" does not mean "to succeed". In fact, it is quite the opposite: "to fall flat" shares a similar meaning with "to fail".
