This question test parallelism. D should be the answer: to attain nirvana is to enter... Here 'to attain' is parallel to 'to enter'.

This question test parallelism. D should be the answer: to attain nirvana is to enter... Here 'to attain' is parallel to 'to enter'.
Exactly. Even if you did not pick up on that from the original sentence, the fact that all of the answer choices involve various combinations of infinitives and gerunds should be a big giveaway.

my query here is whether the parallelism of 'leaving and attaining' should be considered or of 'to this to that' one??
