1. "the quality" disagrees with "surpass", A and C out
2. "the quality" disagrees with "those", B out also
3. "not only the variety..." and "but also in terms of..." do not parallel, D out

E is the best

E is my choice

The subject is Quality and singular, needs singular verb surpasses. Hence A & C are out.

D is out because it compares Quality of X to Quality of EM

Between B & E, E is correct as the not only but also sequence is parallel. In B it is broken.
