Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) People in military establishments like to use chemical agents in war
Explanation
The final sentence explicitly reports that some people in military establishments view chemical agents as useful for warfare; this supports D as the intended inference. The passage attributes that belief to them rather than establishing effectiveness as fact. Civil strife does not follow merely from the description of civilian suppression.
