Answer

Brief Explanations:

The question asks for a detail supporting the idea that maintaining a respectable appearance and attitude during surrender is part of an unspoken code of honor. Option B describes disorderly and unsoldierly conduct (broken ranks), which by contrast implies that proper, orderly conduct (maintaining appearance and attitude) is expected as part of an honor - code. The other options do not relate to the concept of maintaining a respectable appearance and attitude during surrender.

Answer:

B. "But in their line of march we remarked a disorderly and unsoldierly conduct, their step was irregular, and their ranks frequently broken."
