I looked up a few dictionaries. All of them say strengths is an accepted word. As for its use with plural forms, here people is associated with 'their' which should imply the use of strengths in place of strength.

People should be used in plural. The rule says that where you see small change in these type of questions you should tick that answer. As in C option we have to change 3 things, So in my point of view B should be accepted as right answer.
