Explanation
Following the colon, the regulations are described as prohibitive and receiving widespread support, the clues to the meaning of the blank. So the goal must be to prohibit or reduce such tactics. Correct choices (B) and (D) mean to limit and produce equivalent, appropriate sentences. Rally and muster are synonyms that mean to raise support for, and pirate means to use without authorization.
None of these means prohibit or reduce, so eliminate choices (A), (E) and (F). Choice (C) can mean adorn or elaborate, neither of which fits the context of the blank.
Hence options B and D are best fit!
