So I saw this question and my initial reaction was
B.
The correct idiom from memory is
Not only ....but also.
This helped me cross off A and C.
E was wordy so that baby was gone. I was left with B and D. And to me B sounded right.
When I saw your answer I looked back and instantly saw why D is right.
Managing your irrigation system well and watering your grass
That made it plural.

IMO D,
Firstly, check the idiom- Not only ...But Also.Hence A & C are out.
Secondly, "Managing your irrigation system well and watering your grass wisely" requires plural verb save ,help.
