This is the sentence with choice E

In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world's leading exporter of honey,
selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, with almost half going to the United States.

The highlighted modifier above modifies the action of the preceding clause. In essence this sentence can be written as two separate sentences:
1. In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world's leading exporter of honey, selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets.
2. Almost half of the exports go to US.

So sentence 2 has been converted into with modifier. This modifier extends the thought of the preceding clause by providing a detail supporting it.
