I relied on my ears for this one. We need nor here for proper meaning.

So A/C ruled out.
E - nor or not - double negative, so wrong.

do not have needs to be followed by a phrase which has a verb.
do not have nor likely to have structure lacks a verb.
neither have nor likely to have is proper, but we don't have that sort of construction here.

IMO D.

Always be careful with these or, nor, neither ... nor, either ... or - check for structure on both sides.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
