The original sentence has a pronoun reference error. The plural “they” is supposed to
refer to “army.” Like many collective nouns, "army” is singular. Furthermore, “all” is
unnecessary.
(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence.
(B) This choice contains a pronoun reference error. The plural “they” is supposed to
refer to “army,” a singular noun.
(C) CORRECT. Here, the singular “it” correctly refers to the singular “army.” This
choice contains no other errors.
(D) This choice contains a pronoun reference error. The plural “their” cannot refer to
Stonewall Jackson, nor to the singular “army.” Also, the “all” is unnecessary.
(E) This choice correctly employs the singular “it” to refer to the singular “army.”
However, this choice is a run-on sentence. A comma is not enough to separate two
independent clauses.
