I believe the ans is D here.

Choice B lacks an auxiliary verb
Choic C usage is wrong "are not a new principle; the same one"
Choice E changes the meaning

Between A and D i chose D.
I think in A in place of "it" , which could have been used.

Can u pls underline the incorrect part in the question.
Thanks.

D is incorrect as it incorrectly compares 'The proposed urban development zones' to 'a new principle'.
In my opinion B is the answer as it correctly uses 'not x but y' and also correctly compares two principles.
Cheers!
