from original sentence, consistent modifies the way they receive, so that meaning has to be kept (since there's no logic error). so eliminate D+E (consistent modifying support).

support is passive in that it needs an actor to do the action but itself cannot do the action. so there can be "qualified" but no "qualifying" support. So A+B are out.
