Scoliosis is not an abnormal curvature of the spine rather a condition ........

A, C and E are contenders.

A -> The construction is not parallel

Should be C or E. C seems to be wordy. I choose E.

B should be correct according to the definition of scoliosis. But i am afraid of this type of question that demands us to know the meaning.

What's the OA? I chose between B and E. I wasn't sure whether Scoliosis had to be classified as a condition.

Until raunekk posted the definition of Scoliosis I was a fan of E. But now it has to be B

When you read B option what is "that" referring to.
When I am reading B I feel "that" refers to "spine" and not the "condition".
Can someone plz. clear my doubt.

"That" usually refers to immediate pronoun precedent. Here "that" can refer to spine or curvature. I am not sure how to conclude "that" refers to curvature and not spine
