Narrows down to B and E

efficiency in converting is better than efficiency when

In option A,C and D "it" doesn't has proper antecedent[efficiency or harvest rates]

sorry, I missed the initial non-underlined part of the sentence.
So completely misunderstood it.

C. Of converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, which boosts.

E. When harvested trees are converted into wood products may reduce harvest rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and lowering prices, which boost.
Option A.
As parallelism is maintained.converting and boosting are parallel.

OptionB:Increasing Supply and Lowering prices do not have a cause stated explicitly.So eliminated.demand will be stimulated is the passive form.

OptionC:Eliminated as "Which Boosts" in the end of the sentence does not make any sense with respect to the sentence,that is describing a hypothetical situation.

OptionD:Use of the Word "Being" makes us suspicious of the option.boosting does not have a parallel counterpart.

OptionE:"demand will be stimulated" has a passive tone.Eliminated.

IMO: A :P
