In an effort to increase profits, the company moved itself from emphasizing its chemicals business to expand into high-growth pharmaceuticals and futuristic biotechnologies.

(A) itself from emphasizing its chemicals business to expand
(B) itself from emphasizing its chemicals business then to expanding
(C) from an emphasis on its chemicals business and to expanding
(D) from an emphasis on its chemicals business and to expand
(E) from emphasizing its chemicals business to expanding

[spoiler]OA: Will be posted later. In A from X to Y is being followed which I feel is correct but is option A wrong because both emphasizing & expand are not parallel??????[/spoiler]

Looks like E to me. From X to Y. Only E meets the criteria - emphasizing, expanding .....

E

Emphasizing is parallel to expanding

A. lacks parallel
B. 'then to' is redundant with "moved itself from... to"
C. 'and' implies that expanding into high-growth is independent of moving from emphasis on chemicals to increase profits
D. same as C
