Split between ALL THEIR and NOT ALL THEIR...
The logically correct meaning is "Not all their" as the "All their ... Not meet" means No body meets the requirements but the service has power to keep them united. If none of them are meeting the requirement then Service cannot be helpful.
This kills A,C and E

D is ambiguous as you cannot say what is the requirement .

Pick B
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it
