The decisive factor is the plural pronoun' they". There is only one plural noun prior to that pronoun namely 'supplies', but is illogical.
What had fewer supplies was the army, which is singular. That is the reason, neither 'they' nor their'' is able to stand a logical comparison not only in A and C but also in B and D.

Thanks the illogical pronoun referrent is clear - my question was around this:
But to go deep into the topic, this is a question of comparisons. More supplies are being compared with the army in A and C, campaigns in B
How did you arrive at this?

The comparison seems to be only between what the army had earlier with what it had now and not with what it had in the earlier campaigns or with their supplies earlier because we always compare what is adjacent to the comparison marker. In this case, if you substitute supplies with 'they' or 'their', the substitution doesn't make any logic. Secondly, the lack of sensible antecedence for the pronoun is an instant cue leading to the correct choice. Why would anyone stray into unnecessary things in the wrong choices and lose golden moments in the hall?
