Answer
A
formal
B
playful
C
indifferent
D
intimate

Explanation

The paragraph uses official, precise language to justify wartime measures, including legal references and phrases such as “successful prosecution of the war” and “protection against espionage.” This serious, institutional style is formal. It is not playful or intimate, and it is not indifferent because it emphasizes the importance of national defense.
