B: Although the Federal Bureau of Investigation is a federal body, nevertheless it does not enforce law.
Here, although and nevertheless are redundant.
Eliminate B.

D: The Federal Bureau of Investigation...do not enforce law in the United States.
Here, do not enforce (plural) does not agree with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (singular).
Eliminate D.
