Option D is the correct option, not Option B, because Option B is wrong. The speaker says that one is not brutal because one is a soldier, which means profession is not the cause of brutality. Instead, brutality comes from something inside the individual; it is latent (hidden), and war provides an opportunity for that side to be expressed.
