i would go with E

A & B wrong because "which" wrongly refers to 1992
C wrongly modifies year 1992
D wrong meaning

IMO E.

A. 'Which' modifies '1992'. Incorrect
B. same as A
C. Year's Year figure is incorrect
D. '...previous year was' is incorrect. It is not the year that was but the sales figure.
E. 'an amount' is introduced to give the correct reference. '...that' can be used for both people and things. '...'more than previous year's figure' is correctly referenced.

imo C.

D and E: Consider 'sales rose to 167b in 1992, an amount that is ' appears unnecessary, too many modifiers chained up.

Prefer C construct which clearly... comma + modify the 'before comma' clause with subject sales' also notice that 'more' generally refers to numbers..whereas greater than or higher than, to increase.
