E

Usage of "if" is appropriate here. A,B,C out
And Original sentence mentions "can help", so retain the meaning. D out

A) when unfettered associatively by production quotas, can help -- unfettered by associated is the correct usage. POE.
B) when unfettered by associated production quotas, perhaps helped -- found ..perhaps not correct usage.POE.
C) when not fettered associatively by production quotas, can help -- fettered = restrain..hence it has to be fettered by. associatively - wrong usage of adverb. POE
D) if not fettered associatively by production quotas, helped -- wrong usage of adverb - ly. POE.
E) if not fettered by associated production quotas, can help -- correct usage of fettered by hence OA.
