Hi, all. Please look at the following questions. I am having problems with the answer

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 our of mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laid in 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

It's all parallelism here and also maintaining correct tenses.

The sentence is in present tense. D shows that "to form.. , and, to lay them" which is parallel and also maintains the tense.

C - No parallelism. "has been having bricks formed.. " which is ridiculous. Also, it shows "..they were laid" by suddenly shifting to past tense from present.

B - No parallelism.

A - Again, no parallelism.

E - Improper tense. talking in past tense when the sentence is in present tense. Also, no parallelism.
