Given below is a set of statements vis, ...

Given below is a set of statements vis, (I),(II),(III),(IV)&(V). Read them to answer the question that follow without changing the tone of the paragraph.
(I) Although there is a thick alphabet soup of new organisations meant to fight terrorism, most are chronically under-resourced.
(II) India's intelligence services remain desperately short of resources, running some 30 per cent below officially-sanctioned staffing levels that were decided on before 26/11.
(III) There are chronic shortage of everything, from language and area specialists, to personnel with specialist technology skills.
(IV) India has been unable to fulfil its commitment to modernise basic policing and emergency services— the first responders at the time of a crisis.
(V) Forensics, investigation and intelligence capabilities are abysmal
93. Which among the following sentences can REPLACE Statement (II) IN CONTEXT completely?

A

Time enough, perhaps, to ask if India, as a state and civil society, has learned anything from it other than to mourn.

B

For all the fighting words 26/11 gave rise to, though, neither of these issues can be said to have been addressed in any meaningful way.

C

It led to a distillation of public frustration with police and intelligence services, which seemed unable to protect India's citizens.

D

The arrival of various fronts with their anti terrorism agenda can never undermine the fact that the government agencies responsible for the security of the nation are well below requirement, quantitatively and qualitatively.
