E is the correct answer.
'Alcohal' rather than 'substituting alcohal' is the substitute.That leaves only C and E.And E correctly uses 'making' which showes that it is an ongoing process as the price rises.

When ever you see which, make sure it touches the word right before it. In other words, Is which referring to the word right before it. In this case which should refer to rises, which does not make sense. A,B,C out for me

Between D & E, D is awkward and wordier. Also sounds like passive voice to me.

A, B and C are wrong because of the modifier which. Ask the question what is which?

Infinitive form is required after the comma hence ans is between D and E

E stands as D is awkward.

The which touching rising yet modifying rising, as someone mentioned earlier, eliminates A,B and C.

Also, You are not substiting the distillationg or distilling of alcohol, you are substituting distilled alcohol. That knocks out B and C again, just another way and a meaning issues to definitely keep in mind. D states actively as if someone is making an attractive substitution, when you actually want to say that alcohol distilled from cereal grain is an attractive substitute. No one is actually doing any substitution.
