My answer is (B). It took me 47 seconds.
(A) "which" cannot refer to persons. Because of that, we can interpret that "which" refers to "a pure metal". Yet "a pure metal" cannot led to its industrial production. It is the discovery / advance that led to its industrial production.
(B) It is indeed the advance that led to its industrial production.
(C) "which" refers to either "1910" or "a pure metal", neither of which makes sense.
(D) What/who is "leading to its industrial production"? Not "a luminescent radioactive element" or "Marie Curie and André-Louis Debierne". "Leading ..." can also be used as adverbial phrase to modify "isolated", which might lend some support to this version. Still, it took quite some time for us to help the author to justify its sentence. It is no match for (B).
(E) Not a sentence.
