A....."Species from THAT" is wrong...ignore it.
B...looks good...they refers to flies correctly, species...those combination is correct, and "this assists" correctly refers to the whole phenomena.
C...use of which is wrong.
D and E...what is assisting? ignore.
I will go with B

Something happened to my first post on this one... must have not loaded.
I will weigh in waaaay late here and say that E is the answer also!
A and B -- 'and apparently' is incorrect as 'and' is uneccessary.
C -- 'which' is incorrect
D -- 'to taste' is the problem with this one. hydrocarbons assist whichever flies taste them, they don't assist the flies to actually taste hydrocarbons.
E -- correct
