the treeless landscape, getting close enough to kill it with nothing but a
handheld lance, as Dorset people did, required exceptional hunting skill.

B sounds right.
"it" is wrong in A, D & E! So Eliminate.
"In order" in option C is not required, and does not follow from the the first part. So i chose B.
OA?

Eliminate A, D and E as Caribou are plural and the referant IT is incorrect!
C is incorrect becuase meaning is not clear in order to stalk them required exceptional hunting skills does not make sense. I would have picked C if it implied in order to stalk SOMETHING MUST BE DONE and not mention a skill that the Dorset people already possesed.
B is the only one that is clear. Hence B is the answer.
