The semi-colon in E, if used correctly, would separate two independent clauses. in contrast to antigenic drift, which refers to the natural mutation of a single strain of influenza is not an independent clause - it could not stand on its own as a complete sentence.

A simplified version: antigenic drift refers to a natural mutation = independent clause
antigenic drift, which refers to a natural mutation = noun + modifying relative clause = no independent clause

E is similar to the second example.

Hi,

Always remember that a semi colon is used:
1. When two independent clauses are present or two independent sentences
2. To separate lists containing more than one items.

In the option E, "in contrast to antigenic drift, which refers to" makes the second part a dependent clause.
Hence it is incorrect.
