D for me.

Not only is the idiom correct, but none of the other choices make logical sense in the sentence.

D.do not hesitate to initiate action against them

E.do not hesitate to initiate action for them
My answer: D

A,E: doesn't make sense
of B,C,D, "against" shows the best action given the context
