The Iroquois were primarily planters,// but supplementing//
their cultivation of maize, squash, and beans with
fishing and hunting. ,
(A) but supplementing
(B) and had supplemented
(C) and even though they supplemented
(D) although they;supplemented
(E) but with supplementing

IN above question, why A is wrong. though I choose the oa, I am not sure why A is wrong.

in A
"but" as preposition means "besides"
"but" as adverb mean "only"

both meanings are logic and correct because "both" in either of 2 meanings can go with a participle and I see that both A and D are right

why A is wrong.

The use of "but" creates a fragment in the second part of the sentence, there is no subject.

Is the OA D?
A good question also deserves a Thanks.

"but" can work as adverb and so means "only". in this case, "but" modifies the participle "supplementing". we have

Main clause +participle (with adverb)

this structure is correct.
