There is a 3-2 split here. The first three options, (A) to (C), are not correct because of the meaning error.

(A) are usually able to be modified to make them a more effective drug.
- Incorrect.

(B) are usually able to be modified to make them more effective drugs
- Incorrect.

(C) are usually able to be modified, which makes them more effective drugs
- Incorrect. Modifier "which" is fatal here.

(D) can usually be modified to make them a more effective drug
- Incorrect. Several antibiotics can be modified into a drug? Hm...

(E) can usually be modified to make them more effective drugs
- Correct. Antibiotics can be modified into more effective drugs. Best option in my opinion.
