Today just is not my day.. One more SC which stumped me.... :evil:

yea D is the only one that makes sense....I can understand how something like this may be harder for a non native speaker , to me without even analyzing the choices the others use language that is never used.
replacing for the name
replacing by the name
subsituting by the name
substituting for the name

wavered between D and E and chose D
both "substitue X for Y" and "replace Y with X" are idiomatic
but I have never heard "substitute for Y X"
So I think it is D too
