Why Not D but E ?

If a single strain of plant is used for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, it increases the likelihood that the impact of a single crop disease or pest will be disastrous.

(A) If a single strain of plant is used for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, it
(B) If a single strain of plant is used for a given crop over a wide area, as is fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, it
(C) A practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, a single strain of plant used for a given crop over a wide area
(D) A single strain of plant used for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods,
(E) The use of single strain of plant for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods,

(E) The use of single strain of plant for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods,


a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods -> should modify the use of single strain of plant. In option D, it modifies A single strain of plant.

Also, read option E without non-essential modifier. It is concise and straight forward.

The use of single strain of plant for a given crop over a wide area , a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, increases the likelihood that the impact of a single crop disease or pest will be disastrous.

I hope this helps
Thanks

I concur with Sameer.
