IMO - B

A ,C , E- it is saying that none of the members meet the requirement

D is awkward. Hence B

IMO B

five yr residency is the requirement here...

C,D,E - ackward.

btween A and B.

The sentence is tryin to make the meaning "not all members" - means there could be few members nt eligible but not all.

A - is not expressing the same.

I will go with B.

A seems to mean that none meet the requirement.
