Often credited as the founder of English literature, Geoffrey Chaucer both contributed to a growing canon of English literature, extended the capabilities of the language, and using it to invent a new poetic meter.

(A) literature, extended the capabilities of the language, and using it
(B) literature, extended the capabilities of the language, and used it
(C) literature and extended the capabilities of the language, using it
(D) literature, extending the capabilities of the language and using it
(E) literature and, extending the capabilities of the language, using it

OA C Took me a long time to figure this out ?

Hi,
In B -> contributed, extended and used are three things. We can't use 'both' for 3 things.
Cheers!
