There you have the full question.

(A) remaining this way whether or not-out
(B) remaining like that even as-out
(C) remaining as such whether or not-out
(D) remains in this way although
(E) remains thus even when
can say which is is wrong exactly either D or E.Plz help.

(E) remains thus even when

The substance remains warm even when ice is added. In the second sentence the emphasize is on the fact that even if you add ice, the substance remains its quality. This moment is not emphasized so strongly in the first sentence, just like in D and E

IMO E.
Original meaning "whether or not" heat and pressure are removed. This is bidirectional, heat and pressure can be removed or not removed.
Choice D is using "although" means heat and pressure are certained to be removed, thus changing the meaning.
Choice E is using "even when" also a bidirectional.

So, the correct choice is E. Thanks for the above link. Some takeaway:
the meaning of "thus" in the above post.
usually "thus" is used to mean roughly "therefore",
BUT
"thus" can mean "in the same way" or "in the same state".
for instance:
at maturity the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, and remains thus until its death. --> in this case, "thus" means "in the same state", and, therefore, means "as a butterfly".
same thing in choice (e), in which "thus" means "in the form of diamond".
this IS the intended meaning: AT THE TIME WHEN the pressure is removed, the substance stays in the form of diamond.
--
(d) is incorrect.
* "in this way" is unidiomatic here.
"in this way" can refer only to the MANNER IN WHICH AN EVENT OR ACTION OCCURS OR IS PERFORMED.
it CANNOT refer to the physical state of something. for instance, in the above example, you CANNOT use "in this way" to refer to the butterfly stage.
