Definitely choice is between (B) and (C).

I believe "capable of" is correct usage. (C) should be it.

Answer has to be C, the OA must be wrong.

"IS" is the correct verb, not "ARE".

"A generation" is singular and the correct idiom is "capable of". Therefore, C is the correct answer. It is difficult to believe that D is the answer.

C is the right answer. Generation is singular, hence "is" is right. "capable of" is a correct idiom than "capable for".
