In ancient Thailand, much of the local artisans’ creative
energy was expended for the creation of Buddha
images and when they constructed and decorated the
temples that enshrined them.

(A) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was
expended for the creation of Buddha images and
when they constructed and decorated the
temples that enshrined them

(B) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was
expended on the creation of Buddha images and
on construction and decoration of the temples in
which they were enshrined

(C) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was
expended on the creation of Buddha images as
well as constructing and decoration of the
temples in which they were enshrined

(D) creating images of Buddha accounted for much
of the local artisans’ creative energy, and also
constructing and decorating the temples
enshrining them
(E) the creation of Buddha images accounted for
much of the local artisans’ creative energy as
well as construction and decoration of the


I eliminated A,B,C because they sounded more like passive.b/w D and E i chose E as i liked the as well as which joins the sentence rather than and which adds another example.

What and why is yours?

I'd go with B here.

(B) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was
expended on the creation of Buddha images and
on
construction and decoration of the temples in
which they were enshrined

To me this seems like the only option that's parallel.
Also, logically, "they" has a clear reference with Buddha images because that's the only plural item.

My problem with E is that it's not parallel:

"accounted for:
1 much of the local artisans’ creative energy
2 construction and decoration of the

2 just isn't parallel to me.

Curious about the OA. Do share.
