Explanation:

The original sentence is incorrect.

Reason:

1st. The phrase ‘For decades’ and not ‘for decade’ is used to denote a very long time. Therefore, ‘decade’ must be replaced by ‘decades’ here.

2nd. As the verb ‘make’ is used in its plural form, it’s clear that the subject has to be plural too. Therefore, the noun ‘company’ must be replaced by ‘companies’ here.

3rd. As we need a restrictive relative pronoun in the given case, ‘that’ should be used in place of ‘which’ here.

Therefore, among the given choices option C replaces the bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

For decades companies that make soap, lotions and perfumes have relied on a chemical called Bourgeonal.

Option C is hence the correct answer.
