choice (e) first, since the choice doesn't say "drop", the modifier seems to refer to the immediately preceding figure (i.e., the actual consumption rate of 60 packs per person, not the drop).
second, since the choice lacks the noun "drop", the pronoun "that", occurring later in the modifier, doesn't refer to anything at all.
