Hi, I chose the answer of below question as C but OA is E.

(A) A substance derived from the Madagascar periwinkle, which has proved useful in decreasing mortality among young leukemia patients,
(B) A derivative, which has proved useful in decreasing mortality among young leukemia patients, of the Madagascar periwinkle,
(C) A Madagascar periwinkle derivative, which has proved useful in decreasing mortality among young leukemia patients,
(D) The Madagascar periwinkle has a derivative which has proved useful in decreasing mortality among young leukemia patients, that
(E) The Madagascar periwinkle, a derivative of which has proved useful in decreasing mortality among young leukemia patients,

Re look at the choices (C) & (E) now. Which is looking better and more clear to you?

In choice (C), A Madagascar periwinkle derivative, it is not clear that about what we are talking about, that is, whether derivative of Madagascar periwinkle or Madagascar periwinkle itself as a derivative.

If author has used the it something like this A Madagascar periwinkle's derivative then sentence would be acceptable.

Hope this helps...

C states that a derivative of Madagascar periwinkle is coltivated in China while not the derivative is coltivated but - as E states - the Madagascar periwinkle is coltivated in China
