There are several ways to build solid walls using just mud or clay, but the most extensively used method has been the forming of bricks out of mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laidin the wall in mud mortar.
A. the forming of bricks out of mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laid
B. forming the mud or clay into bricks, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, to lay them
C. having bricks formed from mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they were laid
D. to form the mud or clay into bricks, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, to lay them
E. that bricks were formed from mud or clay, which, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, were laid
OA-D
I understand that D maintains parallelism, but my question is FORMING is a technical process of making bricks and construction material. So it has to be a noun. In that context the answers which distort the word forming must be incorrect.
Am I getting to much into the meaning or it is a case of faulty parallelism.
