One idea for pension reform was to disallow payments for those with a certain level of income; although the idea was rejected, citizens can choose to refuse pension payments in place of private sources of income, whether derived by pension funds or personal savings, if they want.

(A) in place of private sources of income, whether derived by pension funds or personal savings
(B) in lieu of private sources of income, whether derived from pension funds or personal savings
(C) for private sources of income, whether derived from pension funds or personal savings
(D) instead of private sources of income, derived either from pension funds or personal savings
(E) rather than private sources of income, whether derived from pension funds or personal savings

Looks like C for using the grammar rules, but B sounds pretty good to me too.
