A some in attacking and subduing prey

B and some to attack and subdue prey

C and some by attacking and subduing prey

D with some to attack and subdue prey

E and in attacking and in subduing prey

with some members specializing in web repair, some [members specializing] in X and Y. - perfect parallelism.

Hence A) should be correct.

B and some to attack and subdue prey - Breaks the parallelism - Incorrect

C and some by attacking and subduing prey - Breaks the parallelism - Incorrect

D with some to attack and subdue prey - Breaks the parallelism - Incorrect

E and in attacking and in subduing prey - There is a meaning error here.
Normally we say some doing X while others doing Y. Per the sentence, not everybody doing all the tasks. If that is the case, Option E) might be correct.
In this context - Incorrect

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
