B) has made possible fro them to raise
C) have made it possible to raise
D) have made it possible for raising
E) thus making it possible for them to raise

Solution:
Subject-verb agreement + parallelism + idioms
‘Japan’s abundant rainfall and typically mild temperature’ is the subject which is plural and hence, options with “has” can’t be the correct ones. A and B are incorrect.
D: ‘for raising’ is not idiomatic and therefore, is incorrect.
E: “Japan’s…..country have” is not parallel with “thus making…raise”. E is an incorrect option.
C: verb ‘have’ is plural and hence, subject-verb agreement is achieved. “To raise” is idiomatic. Here ‘it’ is a rogue pronoun and doesn't have to stand for anything. C is the best choice.
