a) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure
-- "it" refers to Morocco, which is incorrect.
insecure has a different meaning than "not secure", which means not safe.

b) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure
-- Correct answer.
qq on this -- does "it" refer to Morocco or "their interest in Morocco".

c) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it
-- pronoun ambiguity. "it" at the end could refer to Algeria or Morocco.

d) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria
-- we cannot use "that" as pronoun

e) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it.
-- again "it" at the end is ambiguous.

and we need to use the verb "would"; if X happens Y "would" be less secure, not "was" or any other verbs.

整个二十世纪上半叶，法国人也对在战略上接近直布罗陀海峡的摩洛哥感兴趣因为他们认为，没有摩洛哥，他们对阿尔及利亚的控制永远不会安全。
the French 代表的是法国人。 it 应该指代摩洛哥
其实这个题目就是考 conditional tensen
if x happened, then y would happen.
A was 应该用would be替代；wordy and imprecise.
B Correct. This clear, concise sentence correctly uses the conditional would never be.
C was 应该用would替代; 根据句子意思it应该指代法国，这里的it 可能指代Morocco or Algeria. ，指代不明
D 应该用it 来指代 Morocco; could never be secure about their grip 太wordy
E Inverted word order is awkward and confusing; it could refer to either Morocco or Algeria.
