(A) associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do
==> associated is not parallel to "exercise"
(B) associated with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight quicker than
==> associated is not parallel to "exercise"
(C) associate with other calves, they required less medication and will gain weight quicker than do
==> "required" and "will gain" is not parallel
(D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than do
==> "have required" and "will gain" is not parallel
(E) associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than
==> exercise is parallel to associate and "require" is parallel to "gain".
Please provide explanations with answer.

(D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than do

its E
