bet on (a)
(b),(c),(e)- not complete sentences [comma doesn't connect two verb clauses]
(d)- menopausal symptoms is wrong and occasionally+sometimes is redundant

A is wrong. When "which" is used after a comma, it must refer to that directly preceding the comma. In this case, the plant itself is directly preceding. That can't be right because the plant itself does not treat the symptoms, the substance derived from it does.

I believe E is the correct answer.

If you read through the MGMAT thread, you'll note that the source of this SC has not been verified.
Until such verification can be obtained, I would ignore this SC.
