Except for X and Y
it is correct idiom
X and Y have to be parallel
When we have two options both grammatically correct, we must choose Active form.
Awkward!
I find no prob with D
can anybody explain the modifier issue which rejects D?

Look at C carefullyI am confused between C and D.
Please help
in the original sentence we have Student as Object whereas in C we have student as subject,
although it does not changes the meaning of the sentence,but as the thumb rule goes,we select the active voice if both active and passive are available as correct answer choice
Hope this helps now
