The correct answer is D. The other options are wordy. Men's interest is firstly wordy, secondly its wrong. Its hsould be Man's interest


I feel Option D is wordy and quite passive in nature and hence will not support the same.

bhatiagp is correct on this one.
OA is D.

I had chosen E for the fact that D was doing away with the Possesive Noun "Men".

I still can't find any issue with the words "Men's interest".

Good Discussion.
But to what I understand :
>

For me,
Man hopes for peace, but prepares for war.
Men hope for peace, but prepares for war.

Both mean the same thing.
