.

BOTH signals:

Both X and Y so we should have two items in our list.

Since X is contributed

Y needs to be in past tense and follow AND



c literature and extended the capabilities of the language, using it

...but Y is "using" isnt it?
"contributed" is parallel to "used" because we have "and" before "using' in the sentence.

IMO B
