OE:
Actual Answer : E
Explanation
The given sentence makes it sound as if the continent of Africa has abundant resources only in the month of September.
In sentences such as this, it is best to place the modifier ('in September') as close as possible to what it modifies ('they went to Africa').
Option E does this, and removes all ambiguity from the sentence. It also correctly does away with the redundant 'the month of'.
Hence (E) is the correct answer.
