experts, please tell me why A is wrong coz i think i have some doubts while selecting the right answer from the statement A and D.
please explain me how to select the answer keeping parallelism or comparison in mind. i think here that entering and leaving are parallel..

You need to have "attaining" and "entering" parallel, not "leaving"-->
to x is to y
This is why B is correct

so its D right? now, what if E would be "attaining nirvana is entering" then there would be a tough fight between D and E right. please explain how, in that case, u will go for the right choice. please elaborate..

The correct form is To X is to Y as mentioned earlier. Here X and Y should be parallel.

E is incorrect because here "Attaining Nirvana" (X) is not parallel to "to be entering" (Y). The ing form would have been correct if it was - "Attaining nirvana is entering a state......"

Hope this helps..
