This is my first post in this forum.The answers and the related explanations of the sentence correction questions made me little bit confused.If any one can provide more insight that will be a great help .The questions are taken from an old version of SC GRAIL.

Marc Murphy, the chef and an owner of the Landmarc restaurants in Manhattan, is roasting turkey breasts in one oven while he braises the legs in the other.
A. the chef and an owner of the Landmarc restaurants in Manhattan, is roasting turkey breasts in one oven while he braises the legs in the other
B. Landmarc restaurants' chef and owner in Manhattan, roasts turkey breasts in one oven while braising the legs in another
C. the chef and an owner of the Landmarc restaurants in Manhattan, roast turkey breasts in one oven while braising the leg in another
D. the chef and an owner of the Landmarc restaurants of Manhattan, roasted turkey breasts in one oven while braising the legs in another
E. the chef and an owner of the Landmarc restaurants in Manhattan, roasts turkey breasts in one oven while braising the legs in another
Correct option is E as per the book.
Explanation the book:
A. "—Roasting' is not parallel with "—braises'
My Doubt: How come in option E 'roasts' is parallel with 'braising' . Roasts is simple present tense of verb while 'braising' is in gerund form.

B. The Chinese suan pan differs from the European abacus because the board is split into two decks, having two beads for each rod in the upper deck and five beads, representing the digits 0 and 4, on each in the bottom.

Correct option is D as per the book.
Please explain me why option B is incorrect.As per the book B - "—differs....because' does not make sense. Avoid the "—-ing' (having)
Why 'differs' and 'because' can not be used in the given sentence?
