Some instructors help!

1) why "offering a wider range of benefits" and "letting employees pick" can not be two separate two actions and parallel?

2) why themselves here is incorrectly?

Thanks!!!!!!!

B: some companies are offering a wider range of benefits, letting employees pick the most important of them to themselves
C: some companies are offering a wider range of benefits, letting employees pick the most important to themselves
E: some companies are offering a wider range of benefits, letting employees pick those that are most important to themselves
In each of these options, the prepositional phrase in red is an adverb serving to modify important.
Since important refers to benefits, the following meaning is conveyed:
HOW are the benefits IMPORTANT?
They are important TO THEMSELVES.
This meaning is nonsensical: benefits cannot consider themselves important.
Eliminate B, C and E.

D: are offering...and let
Here, are offering and let are not parallel.
Eliminate D.

The correct answer is A.
