Solution

The correct option is D FBI detectives who worked on cases involving violations of Prohibition

FBI detectives who worked on cases involving violations of Prohibition were the Untouchables. They worked for Detective Elliot Ness. Their squad was created because Prohibition had given rise to numerous violent crimes. Eliot Ness assembled a team of Prohibition enforcement personnel known as The Untouchables to combat the activities of gangster Al Capone. Ness's career in law enforcement ended in 1944.
