I think this problem is not so simple. I am divided between B and E. there are two idioms:
not so much by ..... but by.............
so much by...................... as by.............
i think, it is B.

Well as pointed out by nocilis the idiom is
not so much ....as well MA this Idiom is given in Kaplan Verbal Book but I don't think if this Idiom is test "as such". Only KAPLAN tests this Idiom.

by considering not/but u r leaving out so which also can be included for best construct, it includes an idiom as well as parellilism ..
.." not so much by ....as by " -- is the best suitable here
i will go with E
