(A)appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path,
(B)appear to have been equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their path,
(C)appear as equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their paths,
(D)appeared as equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their paths,
(E)appeared to have been equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path,
