The Immigration Service now has the discretionary power to keep families united even though all their members do not meet the five-year residency requirement.

(A) all their members do not meet the five-year residency requirement

(B) not all their members meet the five-year residency requirement

(C) all their members have not met the requirement for a five-year residency

(D) not all their members have resided for five years, a requirement

(E) all their members have not resided for five years, as required


OA IS B. WHY A IS INCORRECT

there is a subtle difference in meaning

a means- each and every member does not meet requirement.
b means- a few of them do not meet requirement.
Cheers !!
