(A) if it can broaden its membership and leave -- If X, Y is the correct usage. "Whether" is more appropriate here. Depends on "whether"

(B) whether it can broaden its membership and leave -- correct

(C) whether or not it has the capability to broaden its membership and can leave -- "whether or not" is not the correct usage. Whether X or Y is better.

(D) its ability for broadening its membership and leaving -- "ability to" is the correct idiom.

(E) the ability for it to broaden its membership and leave -- same as D.

Whether X and Y doesn't marks the parallelism as Neither X and Y Does?

whether it can broaden its membership and leave Here broaden and leave is parallel But don't we need "It can ... " in the sentence structure after and. I know sentence will sound funny but i want know

Thanks

That's right, "whether . . . and" is not a pair of parallelism markers. If I say "I want to know whether . . . ," all that must follow is something I'd like to know about. Did it/will it happen or not? I don't need to have 2 different things. In the example you're looking at, the thing we want to know is whether that entire clause can happen: Can the museum do these things? We could just as easily have one verb ("whether it can broaden its membership") or several ("whether it can X, Y, or Z").

Hello Vatsal7794,

We hope this finds you well.

Having gone through the question and your query, we believe we can resolve your doubt.

"it can" is not needed after "and", since "whether it can" is considered common to both "broaden" and "leave"; the structure here is "whether it can (A) and (B)", where A and B are the parallel elements: the two actions that the museum must take to survive.

We hope this helps.
All the best!

I have one question on this
why "leave" is correct?
I tried Grammarly and and it accept both "leave" and "leaves"
why is that?

Hello Hamdakreza,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, this sentence uses the subjunctive mood construction "wishful trigger (whether) + plural form of verb”, so the plural verb "leave" is correct.

To understand the concept of "Subjunctive Mood" on GMAT, you may want to watch the following video (~20 minutes):
