B) neither vast amounts of money nor ADJECTIVE NEEDED staff members

means VAST is adjective for MONEY

same way we needed adjective for staff people...

(C) neither vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff members -> No of staff member showing A NUMBER like 5 , 10 or 100 and of course a number can't save life BUT THE ACTUAL PEOPLE ... got it.. :)
