Managing your irrigation system well and watering your grass wisely REQUIRE PLURAL VERB (SAVES - wrong); drop A/B/C
D vs E
NOT ONLY SAVE...BUT ALSO (require A VERB).. to make them parallel; Only D suits
E - save water, but also the success - IMPROPER PARALLELISM
IMO D

Pay attention to where the underline begins and ends and start asking yourself: are there any patterns or clues here.
When an underline starts or ends on a verb, I immediately know I'm going to need to check subject-verb agreement or verb tense.
Compound Subject : Managing your irrigation system well and watering your grass wisely
Verb : "save" should be the verb
D vs E
Not only x but also y
x and y should be in same form.
not only save but also help
So ANS IMO D
