B Correct answer
Explanation

Ghoul is unrelated as it describes someone who takes delight in death or describes a supernatural being that is undead similar to a ghost. Minion refers to followers and this is not indicated in the passage, but army is. Cohort is a group of people, which could be a military group or a group of people based on their generation. This leaves mercenary which refers to a soldier for hire or someone who is hired to be a soldier.
