Buddy,

You should post the options. Otherwise, we can not analyze.

Please the question again with the options.

Thanks.

You're looking at a pronoun error. Army is referred to as "they" incorrectly in the underlined section, then as "it" in the non-underlined section.

Also, look for an option with the past perfect tense, since the army "had" supplies before another past event (entering Russia).
