The correct answer is B. to reveal the prevailing racist sentiment among soldiers.

The reason why Zeitoun was (wrongly) arrested in the first place was because he was accused of being a part of terroristic activities. Perhaps it was due to the large amount of money and maps of the city found in his and the other arrested men's possession.

The reason why the author included these details is that to reveal the prevailing racist sentiment among the soldiers. The soldiers have been the topic of the author and that the author wants to tell the readers how soldiers do in wars and some misunderstandings about them.
