The best answer is E.There is a modification error in A. The relative clause
which is 900 times the daily average for the typical site and accounting for a significant percentage of the oil produced is intended to modify 10,000 barrels of oil but it erroneously modify
Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. The same modification error exists in B as well.
In C,
with a daily average of 10,000 barrels of oil is ambiguous. It has to be further qualified in order to clear the ambiguity. The correct form can be
with a daily average production of 10,000 barrels. C can be eliminated for an incomplete modifier that creates an ambiguity in meaning.
There is no justification for the use of the present perfect tense has yielded in D. The simple present tense is appropriate.
E is left as the right answer.
