X and Y Not only something but also something

X and Y imply compund subject -> plural
hence, saves (singular is out).
Down to D and E
D is concise,help is singular and save and help are parallel. hence D



Hope this helps.

My Pick - D,
1. Idiom: Not only.. but also [ A, C out ]
2. S-V agreement : Managing ... and watering... not only save ... but also help ..
3. meaning [E out]
