The emphatic construction it is X that does Y (as in the phrase it is Jane who knows the answer) should be used only when there is a compelling reason to emphasize the doer of the action. In this sentence, the emphatic construction is used without good reason.
A.This sentence uses the emphatic structure it is that without justification. The singular verb makes violates the agreement within the structure. The verb makes should agree with the notional subject (the fixed costs), not with the pronoun it.
B.COrrect
C.同A
D.The preposition for is redundant in comparing the two objects of run. Since it is not clean what stemming... refers to, this is a dangling modifier.
E.The passive construction electricity... is made more expensive because of... is wordy and cumbersome. The preposition for is necessary in the comparison of the costs.
