I will go with B
In preparation for the cold winter months, it was the usual custom for prehistoric people to gather and preserve, with smoke or by salting it, as much meat that they could during the summer.
(A) it was the usual custom for prehistoric people to gather and preserve, with smoke or by salting it, as much meat that they could during the summer. Awkard (salting it... what is it, also prehistoric people instead of "it was usual custom modifies the sentence correctly)
(B) prehistoric people usually gathered as much meat as they could during the summer, preserving it either by smoking or salting ( Prehistoric people correctly modifies and either by smoking or salting is correct idiom)
(C) it was the usual custom of prehistoric people to gather and preserve, either with smoke or by salting, as much meat that they could during the summer ( incorrect modification and wrong idiom "either with ...or by)
(D) prehistoric people had the usual custom of gathering and preserving as much meat, either by smoking or salting it, as they could during the summer (use of had)
(E) it was usually that prehistoric people would gather and preserve as much meat as they could, which was either smoked or salted during the summer (Awkard...Usually )
PS: either by X ....or Y is correct
