The subject of the sentence is "the United States Navy", which is singular. However,
in the underlined portion, the Navy is incorrectly replaced by the plural pronouns
"they" and "their."
(A) This choice is the same as the original sentence.
(B) This choice incorrectly uses the plural pronouns "they" and "their."
(C) CORRECT. This choice correctly uses "it" and "its" to refer to "the United States
Navy."
(D) This choice incorrectly uses the plural pronouns "they" and "their."
(E) This choice incorrectly uses the plural pronoun "their" though it does correctly use
the singular pronoun "it."
