Explanation:

Correct Option: A

In the given context, the definite article ‘The’ must be used before the phrase ‘Pakistan Army’. This eliminates options B and D.

Further, as it is clearly inferred that it is the Pakistan army that has monitored the ‘operation related chatter’ from the Indian side, usage of either a passive voice clause or a passive voice infinitive would be erroneous. Options C and E can be eliminated as well.

Clearly, option A is hence the correct answer.
