The problem with this sort of test question is that there is sometimes more than one possible answer. I think 'all the members' is more likely, but I would not say that 'all members' was wrong. Incidentally, I find 'of the group' more natural than 'in the group'.

Please remember to use a capital letter for the first person pronoun I.

I agree with 5jj. B and C are possible.

What your teacher decided was the correct answer was 'all the members'. As two native-speaking teachers have told you in this thread, 'all members' is also possible.
