B)Weather excessively compromised grip
C)Sag affected crossing symmetry
D)Synchronized steps caused destructive resonance✓
💡 Explanation
Synchronized marching induced destructive resonance because the frequency approached the bridge's natural frequency, therefore, collapse was possible if troops marched in step, rather than if troops crossed randomly.
