Hi

The correct answer is E.

We need to see what is cultivated here - Madagascar periwinkle or Madagascar periwinkle derivative

Clearly it is Madagascar periwinkle only ,so E is correct choice ;-

The Madagascar periwinkle, a derivative of which has proved useful in decreasing mortality among young leukemia patients,
is cultivated in China as part of a program to integrate traditional herbal medicine into a contemporary system of health care.
