@rosh26,

First of all, thanks for posting the question with answers/option masked in the image.
It helps to make an unbiased decision.

IMO D

In E, the "...flies that taste. ..." sounds odd to me.

Experts, your opinion pls.

But OA is E, does using "that" make sense in this case?

I think a selection point for this q is laid in the last part of the paragraph..distinguish their own species from others...should be okay. "those" in D is not necessary.
Looking for 780~

Yes it does.
"that" restricts the flies that taste ... to distinguish ...

Hope it helps
