Explanation:

Sentence A has a verb in the blank. The same word acts as a noun in the sentence B. Only options A, D & E can be used both as a noun and a verb.
‘Rendezvous’ means ‘to meet at a place or a meeting place’. When we say, 'to rendezvous', we mean that we are meeting for a cause, not to a cause. So, rendezvous is not the answer.
‘Flock’ is used to denote a group of birds but not humans. The subjects in both the sentences are humans. So, 'flock' is a wrong choice.
‘Rally’ in the first sentence implies ‘to reunite’ and in the second sentence implies ‘a mass meeting of people making a political protest or showing support for a cause’.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
