I chose D because I thought "all" was redundant in B . Butthe OA is B. Still figuring out why "all" is required .

my two cents on why B can be correct:

The original sentence uses the word "all" though it incorrectly uses "me".
All, x,y and z were cited, emphasies the fact that 3/3 were cited.
though 'x,y and z were cited' in correct, it merely states that '(some)3 guys were cited.'

As GMAT always prefer the answer choice that is grammatically correct and does not change the meaning (here:emphasis) of the original sentence, B is correct.

A and E are grammatically incorrect.
and C and D does not emphasis the fact that "all" were cited.

But in real exam, I too would have confused between B and C and ended up picking C....(as I always do :( )
