B for me...!!! I think "need for" is better off than "need that" so it is between B and E...
In B use of restrictive "that" go well with original sentence since there is a need for only those pine and flax that can be converted into mast and sail,but not for pine and flax in general.
while E implies all pine and flax from Russia can be made into masts and sails

This is from Kaplan GMAT 800.
OA is E
OE:
the corect idiom is "created a need for"
"B is incorrect because it wrongly subordinates that are made into masts and sails. The subordination changes the meaning of the original sentence. While the sentence originally emphasizes the need for masts and sails, option B emphasizes the fact that pine anf flax were needed from Russia; the purpose of the pine anf flax become less important. E it is."
The idom part makes sense, and I got that right. The second part about the subordinate makes no sense to me.
