All the possible answer choices here use the construction not only . . . but also . . . We can easily eliminate the choices that use the construction inappropriately. The construction is used appropriately only if what immediately follows not only and but also are grammatically parallel. For example, if what immediately follows not only is an adjectival phrase, then what immediately follows but also must also be an adjectival phrase.
