Let me try my luck on (E).
(E) is the only sentence that does not contain "it".
IMO, what is likely to be destroyed is not "substance", but "chemical elements".

E is best.
A and B have misplaced modifiers. In C and D, what does "it" refer to?

C.
The techniques has the ability to looks wrong to me. Also the distance between the techniques and the proton.....is too much.
