Stuck between C and E. I do think that the usage of both 'present' and 'moment' may be redundant.
Final pick C.
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

I was stuck between B and C. Idiom 'continue X to Y' is correct and not 'continue X of Y'. So E can be easily eliminated.

You are correct OA is C

Good to know.. I didnt remember that about idioms.. I eliminated B for redundancy (same reason as E).

Good question btw.. where is this from?
