option B
‘Military victory’ takes the singular verb ‘bestows.’ In the next part ‘the means’ is correct as we are talking of the particular/definite means that are adopted. ‘A slow and steady’ is correct as we are here referring to one such erosion. Achievements are the specific ones that are referred to hence the definite article ‘the’ should be used. ‘A higher proportion’ is correct. Hence BBAAB
