I would go for a. You can't really use a semicolon, so C,D and E are out and the correct idiom usage is not...but rather . The original sentence from OG was in this article https://www.nytimes.com/1989/08/26/us/vo ... ttery.html. Just search for "but rather".

Yes, it is.

Not X, but rather

Again:

COMMA + FANBOYS (FOR, AND, NOR, BUT, OR, YET, SO)--IS THE CORRECT FORM.

We should not use "semicolon + FANBOYS"

Thanks.

IMO C

A violates parallelism, a concept most commonly tested.

Not X, but rather Y

X and Y are not parallel.

X=driven (participle)
Y= High pressure fluids (Noun)

Can never be parallel. Just looking at NOT X, but rather Y would not help :(

C is an run-on sentence.
