Answer: D - “The brave men . . . far above our poor power to add or detract.”

Explanation:

“The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above. . . .” Wrong -  the first period should not be there because that would mean "above" was the last word in the original sentence and it's not

“The brave men . . . who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to detract.” Wrong - they took out the word "add" but did not use ellipses to indicate omitted text

“The brave men . . . who struggled here. . . .” Wrong -  the fourth period should not be there because that would mean above was the last word in the original sentence and it's not

“The brave men . . . far above our poor power to add or detract.” Correct -  The ellipses are used correctly for the omitted material (although the quote doesn't make sense anymore . . .  if that was what the question was asking, choose B instead; it's the least incorrect and the ellipses they did use were used correctly)
