IMO - D
A - and replaces them
There are 2 errors with this structure.
"them" is ambiguous and also it does not agree in number with oxygen(which it should logically refer to).
B & E - same as A
C - forces out oxygen, and to be replaced
"to be replaced" should logically follow an action entity. If not there is parallelism error among "produces", "forces" and "to be replaced".
This leaves us with choice D, which makes complete sense saying that "the changes were bought by forcing out oxygen that is to be replaced...".

My choice is D option.
1) Subject- Verb agreement
Dead plant matter is singular noun, so Them or Those is plural pronoun. Therefore eliminate A, B and E
2) In between C and D
C is incorrect because it changes the intended meaning and also break the parallelism rule.
Produces, Forces and To be is not parallel
Therefore, D is correct
A. which produces chemical and physical changes, forces out oxygen, and replaces them
B. which produces chemical and physical changes, forces out oxygen, and those are replaced
C. which produces chemical and physical changes, forces out oxygen, and to be replaced
D. which produces chemical and physical changes, forcing out oxygen, and to be replaced- CORRECT
E. which produces chemical and physical changes, forces out oxygen and replaces them
