(C) so in order to stalk them over the treeless landscape and get close enough to kill one

(E) and so stalking them over the treeless landscape and getting close enough in order to kill it

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, the most appropriate revision of the underlined phrase to comprehend the meaning of the sentence would be as displayed in option B.

The other options are incorrect as they are either jumbled or grammatically incorrect. Option A is incorrect as there is an irregularity among the pronouns 'them' and 'I' while option D and E are also wrong because they employ inappropriate pronoun 'it' as per the context. Option C seems wordy due to the phrase 'in order to'. Thus, option B remains the most appropriate choice that is both grammatically as well as contextually appropriate.
