Since the underlined portion of the sentence contains several prepositions, check for idiom errors. Since the latter part of the sentence is metals and carbon dusts…interact, the correct idiom is created…when, not created…from as used in the original sentence. This is an idiom error, so eliminate choice A and look for any obvious repeaters. Choice E is an obvious repeater since it also uses the construction created…from, so eliminate choice E. Now evaluate the remaining answer choices individually, looking for reasons to eliminate each.

Choice B uses the correct idiom created…when, and introduces no new errors, so keep choice B. Choice C uses the construction and when, turning when high-temperature metals…rail bed into a subordinate clause, so eliminate choice C. Choice D places a comma before created…when, incorrectly turning created in train stations when...rail bed into a subordinate clause, so eliminate choice D.

Choice A: No. This choice uses created…from instead of the correct created…when. Idiom.

Choice B: Correct

Choice C: No. This choice incorrectly creates the subordinate clause when high-temperature metals…rail bed. Clauses & Connectors.

Choice D: No. This choice incorrectly creates the subordinate clause created in train stations when...rail bed. Clauses & Connectors.

Choice E: No. This choice uses created…from instead of the correct created…when. Idiom.

The correct answer is choice B.
