Solution

The correct option is D crew
Option B is the correct answer as 'crew' means a group of people who work together, especially all those who work on and operate a ship, aircraft, etc. Using this word would make the sentence complete in meaning and sense.
A 'troop' means a collection of people or more specifically a small unit of cavalry or armour commanded by a captain; 'band' means a group of people who have a common interest usually refers to a small group of musicians and vocalists.; 'gang' means an organized group of criminals. Options A, C and D are incorrect because according to the meanings given, none of these words would make logical sense if used in the sentence.
