myschool is wrong
surpass means to exceed,be greater than,be better than etc
so the answer should be more than they are
not fewer than they are
The phrase "surpassed in numerical strength" means that the opponent has a greater number of people, therefore the correct option is D. fewer than they are. Being "surpassed in numerical strength" refers specifically to having a smaller number of people, not necessarily being weaker in combat or other factors.
