Reason for why option D is correct :

A&C : ‘and public layouts and not only in the UK but also’ is not idiomatic.

B : ‘had designed not only many private houses, war memorials and public estates in the UK but also in several parts’ is ungrammatical & unidiomatic.

Of D & E , I chose E because of ‘most notable of which was in New Delhi,’. This refers to a building in New Delhi.
But the intended meaning & also a fact is ‘Lutyens Delhi’ is a city. (Despite being from India, I didn’t know this fact until I came across this question)
The author intended to say that Lutyens built houses etc not in Uk but also other places out of which Lutyens Delhi is very famous.

I somehow do not get your explanation on your understanding of the intended meaning. Even if you have known that Luytens Delhi is a city, you are trying to compare what Luytens designed (houses) vs a city.
This comparison does not make sense in D.

The comparison here is with ‘not only in the UK but also in several parts of the World’ . Hence this must be compared to another place bot a building.
