题目分析：
本题比较难。很多考生一看到未划线部分有一个not only，然后立刻就在选项中找but also。实际上，not only…but also…确实是一个习惯表达，但是并不是唯一正确的习惯表达。可以用not only…but…，也可以用not only…also…。

选项分析：

A选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

B选项：and身后的selling the data to competitors是一个分词短语，该分词短语在and身前并没有平行对象。

C选项：pilfering valuable information是分词短语。句型not only…but also…中，not only和but also必须各自引导一个完整的句子，需要有完整的主谓结构。（当然，not only…but also…和and做连词是一个道理，也可以因为省略现象而只连接两个功能相同的部分。本题中的not only身后就是一个完整句，所以but also身后也必须是完整句）

D选项：句型not only…but also…中，not only和but also必须各自引导一个完整的句子，本选项的but also身后缺少主语。

E选项：pilfering valuable information是分词短语错误同(C)。
