    A If every countries start taking Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the legitimacy at a rule-based international order Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C which is already at a low ebb Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D will come crash down Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A- since in the correct part, ‘its’ is mentioned, we can understand that ‘every country starts’ is correct. C- ‘of’ instead of ‘at’. E- ‘crash’ should be replaced with ‘crashing’. If every country starts taking the law into its own hands, the legitimacy of a rule-based international order, which is already at a low ebb, will come crashing down.
