A and B are run-on sentences.. E doesn't have modal verb.

C or D for me.. I ruled out C because seeming is an adjective. But here we need adverb which is properly placed in D.

instead of and rather than.. are both correct on GMAT? could some one please let me know?:)

@KiranLegend

I guess ur resoning to differentiate C & D is perfect.

Permanent is an Adjective and to modify an Adjective we need an Adverb.

So we have to use seemingly and not seeming.

and 2: the idiom not as x but as y is correct.

Choose(d).
