This one is very fairly straightforward. It involves the idiom:
NOT ONLY | x
BUT ALSO | y
Where x and y are reasonably parallel.
Answer choice (A) offers us:
not only | the ability of...
but also | whether individual cells...
The above is not parallel.
By comparison, answer choice (C) offers us:
not only | on the organism's ability...
but also | on the ability of individual cells...
That's why (C) is the best answer.
Other defects include (D) and (E) both of which offer us:
all multicellular organisms, which includes humans...
However includes does not go with the subject multicellular organisms.
