A ,B ,C are out as the antidote to envy is not to think about one's own work
Between D and E will choose D.

Very confusing. I agree that this sentence tests ll ism. But at first I choose B. B is ll too, but "always work" and reference to "you" are a little off. After reading the posts I lean more to A.
What is AO?

Parallelism is tested and only A stands.

B is out --> meaning changed
