Why the answer is D, and why the others tempt you.
Some markers are external examiners, and every external examiner is paid in foreign currency, so at least those markers are paid in foreign currency. The statements say nothing about how the other markers are paid or how many markers are external, so the claims about all, none and most go beyond the evidence.
