    B B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-E and B-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No change required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The past tense form of verb should appear after 'is' at (A), as the clause is in passive voice. Since the sentence details the duties of the Chief of the Defence Staff, 'expected' fits better at (A). 'Link' fits at (D), conveying exactly 'what' is expected to be done with the three services.
