IMO [spoiler][E][/spoiler]

[A] and {B} are out because-
"the rules" is plural and so require plural verb "include" ... X and Y.

[C] is not parallel

[D] include X and the return of fire, meaning the the technique used is return of hostile fire and not returning hostile fire?

One combats fire with fire and not by the return of fire.

Hence IMO [spoiler][E][/spoiler]
