Weird question - what’s the source?

Regardless:

Which of the following best completes the passage?

A.Every step they took was uncharted territory. If every step was uncharted territory, it would not explain how they succeeded. It’s a fool’s gamble of hit and miss so reject
B.Every decision they took was fraught with risk. Sure, but how does this complete the passage and where in the stem does it say anything about risk?
C.Success is measured by the results more than the means. Same as B. May be true, but unrelated
D.Make it they did, in their own way. Yep - they made it. That’s what the passage clearly implies. It says there are hardly any and have no education and such, but they made it so this has to be it
E.The remained undeterred despite the obstacles that came their way.I like this, but D is better so reject.

Hi
I marked E. However I do not have a strong reasoning to choose between D and E.

Can you please explain?

Thanks

Yes somebody please explain the answer. It will be a great help.
