delicious in Florentine cooking, is an accomplished scholar not only unearthing many of his

I have a question about option B
My understanding about the verb+ing form following a noun without comma is that it restrictively modifies the noun (or) adds defining information about the noun. (similar to a prepositional phrase (or) a 'that' clause directly following a noun)
Please confirm if I have understood these examples correctly.
eg. they are students studying art- 'studying art' defines the kind of students - is this sentence correct?
from OG: moons circling the uranus - 'circling the uranus' tells about those specific moons
is option B incorrectly using the +ing modifier with scholar?
does it mean -- Giuseppe Alessi is an accomplished scholar unearthing.. (meaning: scholar of one kind)
On other forums and on a different thread here I notice this option is dismissed citing [spoiler]lack of parallelism between the two modifiers 'unearthing..' and 'who draws'. I found B lacks parallelism here: [spoiler]"both from medival and Renaissance manuscripts"[/spoiler]. But I would like to understand if the +ing form is also used incorrectly here and what meaning it conveys with the construction used here.
