A. Again that is a Manga, so the technology has not evolved in the same way as it was in the real world.

(Sorry I don't know how to make a direct link)

D. I don't remember if that was said. but maybe that how the Titan power goes until the find the serum. A) It's a manga, yes, but the level of technology is very close to our. They currently seem to be about the 1930-1940's technologies. Less than a century ago, photography didn't exist in their world, and in our world, we barely had photography before the end of the 19th century, photography was introduced after the Great Titan War. Isayama clearly wanted to make a world extremely similar to our, the main differences being the reversed geography and the existence of paths (leading to Titan stuff), the rest is mostly stuff that could have happened in our world if taken another path.

Because if we use the argument "It's a manga, so it's not a problem to find advanced technologies 2000 years ago", then you could justifiy the presence of a country with UFO, a spatial airforce, a base on the moon, etc... The manga as an internal coherence, and it can"t accept the level of technology needed for syringes 2000 years before the current events. Clearly, the technology in this world had a very similar evolution as in our world. As we saw with the representations of this time, their armors look like the Romanian Empire armors. They didn't look like to have an access to such a level of technology. At this time, if they had something similar to syringes, it must have been far from what we know now, with a level of technology that has nothing to do with the current syringes. And it was probably not a common item.

The only disturbing thing is the 3D manoeuver gear, but even here it's partly justified because of the source of energy it's using (a stone with incredible properties).

That's why I would go with the "The Founding Titan can turn subjects of Ymir into pure Titans with his powers, no need for spinal fluid". That woud explain how they could have created Titans between Ymir Fritz period and the approximatively 1600/1700 years that followed (I would assume the first syringes to have been created in the decades prior to the Great Titan War).
