First, it's a good idea to identify the subject of the sentence containing the underlined words: the brewed leaves of C. (plural) . After a semicolon, you always find a complete sentence, unless it is used in a complex list

Thus A, B and C can be quickly ruled out.

Looking at D and E, the former contains an unidiomatic expression: the possible preventing.

Choose E

A, B and C are also complete sentence.
I think they are out because of the word it/its.

Kevin,

When you say that "After a semicolon, you always find a complete sentence", do you mean that we can't have pronouns referring to subjects in the phrase before the semi-colon?

Also, can you give examples of "complex lists"?
