Sentence Correction

Hi instructors,
please help to confirm whether noun can be paralleled with a noun phrase.

Unlike the nests of leaf cutters and most other ants, situated underground or in pieces of wood, raider ants make a portable nest by entwining their long legs to form "curtains" of ants that hang from logs or boulders, providing protection for the queen and the colony larvae and pupae.
(A) the nests of leaf cutters and most other ants,
(B) the nests of leaf cutters and most other ants, which are
(C) leaf cutters and most other ants, whose nests are
(D) leaf cutters and most other ants in having nests
(E) those of leaf cutters and most other ants with nests

in choice D, can noun "leaf cutters" and noun phrase "most other ants in having nests" be parallelism?

IMO C
Comparison is made between "leaf cutters and most other ants" and "raider ants", therefore A, B & E are out.
D is wrong because of the use of "having", which is not parallel to "make".

Hope it helps!
