IMO A.

Although both A and D look grammatically correct, it looks to me that D changes the meaning.. the original sentence says that infliction of suffering is unintelligible, whereas D says suffering is unintelligible..

I also had marked D but the answer is A.

Hardik's explanation matches that of Cambridge's explanation ;-)

I wish I understood the statement (what does "pride of place" mean?)

B is clearly wrong -- use of "especial"

My first instinct was to look for parallelism since "and" was used as a conjunction.
The ending needed to be parrallel to "...the value of....."

Only A is parrellel to this "the infliction of..." (Ans: A)
