Who modifies noun(person), so it should be placed just after the person (Jane).
hence only B , C and E remains
Original sentence emphasize upon high heels and height being just five feet, so both adjectives are needed . Thus E IMO

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Jane often wears high heels, who is just five feet tall.
A. Jane often wears high heels, who is just five feet tall
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. A relative clause that modifies a non human cannot begin with the relative pronoun who.
This answer choice is also illogical. The relative clause who is just five feet tall is intended to modify the noun Jane. However, it follows the noun heels.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- who, which, that, whose, whom
B. Jane, who is five feet tall, often wears high heels
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake and is grammatically correct, it changes the meaning of the original sentence by omitting the word just.
C. Jane wears high heels, who is five feet tall
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. A relative clause that modifies a non human cannot begin with the relative pronoun who.
This answer choice is also illogical. The relative clause who is just five feet tall is intended to modify the noun Jane. However, it follows the noun heels.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- who, which, that, whose, whom
Finally, the omission of the word just slightly changes the original meaning.
D. Jane, who is just five feet tall, often wears heels
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake and is grammatically correct, it changes the meaning of the original sentence by omitting the word high.
E. Jane, who is just five feet tall, often wears high heels
CORRECT
