Solution
The correct option is E Bubonic plague killed millions of people in medieval Europe. The sentence has two errors- a misplaced modifier which renders the sentence illogical (the sentence seems to say that rat fleas spread people) and the unnecessary use of the passive speech. E rectifies these errors by making 'plague' the subject and puts the verb into passive speech. E is the correct answer.
