That's a good way to think about it, but it is possible to use a verb in the second half of that comparison. It just has to be parallel to the verb used in the first half.

A ("adapting"), C ("to be adapted"), and E ("adapting") all use verbs that are not parallel to "must be adapted" in the first half, so we can eliminate them.

B uses "instead of", which is incorrect, leaving us with D.

instead of = substitution (literally means "in place of")
rather than = preference

The way i see it :

Forget Rather than vs Instead of !
confinement buildings must be adapted to animals
the above sentence must be parallel!
The only answer choice which adapts this parallelism is (C)

OA : (C)
Can anyone post the OA ?
