C cant be the answer...
It has to be B..
the idiom s to be ..."not only...but also"..
A uses "create" and "gave"- two different tenses in the same sentence...
imo:B

First the OA of the question mentioned by Neha is Wrong
Just google the question and you will find all possible OAs..
Out of all the OAs... I found OA D as the best ...
stacy quotes:
The correct idiom is "not only... but also." I haven't seen a CAT question in which they break this rule.
Having said that..
lets start the eliminations:
A: out ( Not only but it...wrong idiom )
B Contender
C: awkward...participle phrase not required....not parallel
D: Contender
E: out...not only but also
Now why B is out:
Ronnie not only plays but also studies. Correct
not only ronnie plays but he also studies Correct
not only ronnie plays but also studies: Not structurally parallel
subject + verb.....
So B out
left is D
THE BEST OA
