IMO
[Reveal] Spoiler:
C
,
"it" does not have any antecedent
[Reveal] Spoiler:
- A,B,E out

"and" is not appropriate to show contrast + we don't know 14% of <WHAT>. we cannot assume "14 of world wine" because of LACK of parallelism

A & B convey the meaning that wine produced in Italy accounts for 14% of wine in Spain.
D seems to talk about the rate of wine production in Spain which to me does not make any sense.
E incorrectly compares Italy to wine production.

C is the right answer.

Kudos Please... If my post helped.

in E - ''it'' has no clear referent.
