B sounds because the option provides "knowledge and skills necessary to complete the task satisfactorily", while D mentions only skills

The confusing for me was that it says "All auditors", not thе "audit team as a whole", but standard 1210 – Proficiency says "Internal auditors" - " all auditors" must possess the knowledge, skills, and other competencies needed to perform their individual responsibilities. The internal audit activity collectively must possess or obtain the knowledge, skills, and other competencies needed to perform its responsibilities.

The work of internal audit must possess more confidence than just satisfaction. Thus, more appropriate response is C.
