IMO: A. I see no problem with the sentence , it is parallel and concise.

option B is wrong as it is a sentence fragment because there is no independent clause after the dependent clause "when they built the infrastructure....."

option C is wrong because the gerund phrase "building of the infrastructure" is awkward and wordier. Option A correctly uses "building infrastructure" which is more concise.

option D again uses the awkward gerund phrase "building of the infrastructure".

option E is also wrong because of the usage of awkward gerund phrases "building of heavy machinery" and "building the infrastructure"

i am a bit confused in option e.....whats wrong in Option E?

E is wordier construction. "building of the machinery" can be changed to "building machinery" already present in option A

"building of the infrastructure" can be changed to concise phrase "building infrastructure"

"carrying of large pieces" can be changed to "to carry large pieces" .

So due to the usage of these wordier gerund phrase, E is incorrect.

Option A is correct
A maintains correct parallelism

Money was spent on x and on y
