Narrowed it down to B and E but chose E :( "missed on at the end".
Thanks for explanation.

No parallelism. "not only on" ... "but only on"

I would go with B. But E I thnk there is a problem with respect to parallelism.

Will the following modification works with E
the interest rates are tied to the prime, not only on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses, but also on ??

Please explain

B is the only one that is parallel and makes the most sense with "not only X, but also Y..."

however, the passive tone of B is worded in an awkward manner.
