OA = D

I went for B with half mind since i thought 'basing a system' is parallel to 'cost of land' and 'pressure of housing and commercial development'.

I would have been happier had there been an option 'the basing of a marketing and distribution system on importing produce from Florida and California'

What am I missing?

Hi Kareem,
See emboldened portion....First two are noun and third is verb.....Out of Rule...The only choice which corrects this is D

Among the reasons for the decline of New England agriculture in the last three decades were the high cost of land, the pressure of housing and commercial development, and ( basing is brutal here )

Only "a marketing and distribution system" is correct here, which is parellel with the other two reasons stated.

E is passive and hence eliminated
choose D for being parallel,active and clear.

Regards,
GK
