a)Resembling both a lion and
//wrong modifier for ancient Egyptians
b)Building it to resemble both a lion and
//Building and constructed looks redundant in the same sentence
c)Resembling it to both a lion and
// correct : it -> Sphinx
d)Having a resemblance to both a lion and
//wrong modifier for ancient Egyptians
e)Building it to resemble not only a lion and also
//wrong idiom - not only....but also
I am confused between B and D.

b)Building it to resemble both a lion and >> Slightly redundant but correct.
c)Resembling it to both a lion and >> 'Resembling it to'? You can't resemble x to y. Idiom is 'X resembles Y'. Incorrect.
d)Having a resemblance to both a lion and >> Says that Egyptians resembled both lion and man.
