Sentence Meaning:In order to curb infestation of lake victoria by a water hyacinth, ecologists are introducing weevils and fungi into lake's ecosystem...
The phrase an ornamental plant....which was...and which was is Noun Modifier modifying Water hyacinth
Let's hold option A
B: The attempt at curbing does not have verb and also does the sentence does not make sense.
C: Used had been investing past perfect continous is meaningless
D: Looks crisp and clear...Hold
E: Native in is unidiomatic.
So we are down to A and D. D is clear winner as it short and crisp where as A has lengthy construction.

"Native to" is correct idiom. So we can eliminate options A and E. C is past perfect so we can eliminate this. "curbing the infesting of Lake Victoria of the water hyacinth" in option B looks awkward. So correct answer is D.
