Please can someone explain why D is right

[Vemuri]

A - Pronoun Ambiguity error. "Them" can refer to British Admiralty and the War Office or the Russian
B - Same as A
C - awkward construction
E - awkward construction & the pronoun "it" has an antecedent error. It does not refer to anything.

Hope this helps.
