C
The military ignored them.
D
The military threatened them.

During Argentina’s military dictatorship, security forces abducted people who opposed or were suspected of opposing the regime. Many were secretly tortured and killed, and their disappearance gave rise to the name los Desaparecidos, so “kidnapped and murdered them” is the best description.
