2)which makes substituting the distillation of alcohol from cereal grain attractive
3)which makes distilling alcohol from cereal grain an attractive substitute
4)making an attractive substitution of alcohol distilled from cereal grain
5)making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute

the price ... rise is making the alcohol an attractive substitute and not 'attractive substitution'

The pronoun "which" introduces a non restrictive clause. The rule states that this clause must modify the noun immediately preceding it.

The use of "which" incorrectly modifies "rises" when it needs to modify the word "price." The correct modifying phrase in this sentence needs to start with the word "making," eliminating choices a, b, and c.

Between D and E, D is in passive voice, so the best answer is E.
