My answer is (D). It took me 1 minute.
To describe what a rule is, use "rule + that clause". The "that clause" is used as an appositive clause.
"rule of + noun" is used to give a name to the rule. For example: rule of exponents.
Eliminate (AB).
(C) "when its state is solid" is not parallel with "when liquid".
(D) "in its solid state" is parallel with "in its liquid state".
(E) "when solid" is not parallel with "when its state is liquid".
Also, in technical discussion, "when" sounds too informal and / or imprecise.

ce floats on water, making it an exception to the general rule of a substance being denser in its solid state than in its liquid state.
A. of a substance being denser in its solid state than in its liquid state-There is no rule of a 'substance'. The rule should be followed by the clause describing rule
B. of how a substance is denser in its solid state than in its liquid state- same as A
Strike out A&B
C. that a substance is denser when its state is solid than when liquid- incorrect //ism
D. that a substance is denser in its solid state than in its liquid state- looks okay
E. that a substance is denser when solid than when its state is liquid-incorrect //ism
Hence, D
