The reaction in Britain and France to Hitler's renouncement of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty and his military buildup was muted.

Option B is also incorrect, as there was no attempt to ally with the Soviet Union. Option E is partly true, as both countries demanded that Hitler halt his military buildup, but it is incorrect to say that he continued unopposed since Britain and France did eventually declare war on Germany in 1939.
