A as well.


Compensating for is correct usage of the idiom

Parallelism in "for damage to their natural resources" and "for injury to people"

(A) compensating state governments for damage to
(B) compensating state governments for the damaging of
(C) giving state governments compensation for damaging
(D) giving compensation to state governments for the damage of
(E) the giving of compensation to state governments for damaging
I see this question focussing on parallelism and idioms.

I recognize the idiomatic structure permits x but Y.

Here X contains compensating and structure Y contains claims .. which are not parallel in comparison.

Thus, I pick D. Experts guidance and OA please.

Pranay

I'd have chosen A for these reasons as well as for concision.

Keep in mind that "compensating" here is a gerund -- a verbal noun -- and while not as similar-looking to "claims" as we might hope, it is still eligible for parallelism to a noun.
