"there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause"

makes the option (D) correct.


Using the word "regretfully" may be the personal opinion of someone.

Is the answer really option D? Both C and D seem correct here, but C seems to summarise the passage better, which is what the question asks for.

“there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause” The cause here means “suppression of civilian populations” and not a conventional war. The option D is wrong.
