latitudes, where there is abundant precipitation
and where it is cold enough to allow some snow
to accumulate year by year.
(A) glaciers, rather than being the cold, dry polar
regions, would be instead the cool, moist
middle latitudes
(B) glaciers are not the cold, dry polar regions but
the cool, moist middle latitudes
(C) glaciers are the cool, moist middle latitudes
rather than the cold, dry polar regions
(D) glaciers, instead of being the cold, dry polar
regions, would be the cool, moist middle
latitudes

B is best
C has the right syntax but putting the dry region at the end does not correspond with the last part of the sentence which is characteristic of the moist region
A and D are clearly out. "instead of being" and "rather than being" are wrong.
E is also wrong by a double use of "instead" and "rather than"

B is the best choice.
The glaciers dont have a choice where they will form. They just form whereever there is favourable climate.
Here is what Erin said about choosing "but not" vs "rather than"
26. "but not" vs "rather than"
Example -
Pucci is not a dog but a cat.
Pucci is a cat rather than a dog - means Puci has chosen to be a dog rather than cat - sounds terrible
I want a cat rather than a dog. - Shows preference.
