no....than...do

i picked A but what does "Do" stand for because it seems like it's not parallel with the beginning of the sentence

if they placed it like this
"no happier than people living do" it sounds more parallel? can someone shed some light on this? thanks

Freedman’s survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than do people living in big cities.

(A) no happier than do people living
(B) not any happier than do people living
(C) not any happier than do people who live
(D) no happier than are people who are living
(E) not as happy as are people who live

see the Bold part maintains the Parallelism
and Hence the correct answer

Rest dont maintain parallelism

You can check them

Hope this helps
