According to Henry David Thoreau, the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger.
(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(B) a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(C) the reason for majority rule is not because they are more likely to be right, they are stronger
(D) the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be right
(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right

Let me try. ( Others, please comments)

I thing the usage is - not X, but Y

We have to maintain logical and grammatical compariosn between X and Y.

Only B maintains a good comparison.

not because........., but because ........

Additionally,

E ) has redundancy - reason why. We dont need why
C) has a they which is plural referring to majority, a singular subject

Hi TT,

It cant be D because of the usage of "its"...... we do not know what "its" refers to(unclear)...As pointed out by mridul12 it doesnt abide the rule "not X but Y"

Anyone please correct me if I am wrong!!!!

(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right

the reason it is not D is due to parallelism. 'it is right' has the same construction as 'it is strong'. so 'strength' does not go with 'right'.
