IMO the answer should be D

A, B, C = wrong use of which to indicate a clause (while it can only be used to refer to a noun)

E = improper use of parallelism ; 'involving the imposing......, the banning... and creating' = 'the' missing before creating

Must be so

COMMA + verb-ing modifier—> modifies the preceding clause.

But D is also wrong.
If we are modifying the clause, "involving" would refer to what motivates students, and it would not make sense.
The modifier is trying to modify "initiatives".
This initiatives are:
imposing trade limits on the tiger industry, banning tiger hunting completely, and creating tiger reserves in each and every state.
It is a noun modifier.
The problem is that the modifier is too far from the noun.

Hello, the solution says that answer D is correct, however, involving imposing is perhaps not the best phrase. Additionally, involving as as the beginning of a verb-ing modifier which is placed very far from "develop initiatives" which is modifies. What is the correct answer?
