in A , comunication (as a noun) is not paralel to establising (here used as verb)
in B, communicating (used as verb) is not paralel to establislment (as a noun)
in D, comnunicating (as a verb) is not paralel to hyachy (as a noun)
in C, communication is PARALEL to establishing (used here as a noun), BUT gmat prefer noun than doing
E is left.
