C) in a 1991 report, moderate alcohol consumption, and particularly of red wine, which was linked with a reduced risk of heart disease, caused them to begin to grow again
D) with a reduced risk of heart disease linked in a 1991 report with moderate alcohol consumption, in particular red wine, they began growing again

I am not sure if this is correct.But let me try.
"moderate consumption" leads to reduced heart risk.
moderate consumption of alcohol and red wine leads to reduced risk.
if "and" is not used,the meaning is like red wine leads to reduced risk.
moderate consumption of alcohol particularly red wine leads to reduced risk.
Hence "and particularly of " is used.
Hope this clarify.

I would say that A is the best among the worst
C, D and E are out because of meaning issue or modifier issue.
B is out becuase noun modifier ('they began growing again') actually modifies 'sales'. However, we need noun modifier should be as close as 'sales' i.e. noun.
'particularly of red wine' modifies to 'consumption'
