The town planning and establishment of the city of NewDelhi within the old city of Delhi was a project assigned to Lutyens. He did not just establish a few buildings in New Delhi, but the entire New Delhi. We should not confuse between Old Delhi and New Delhi.
Therefore other projects in the Uk or elsewhere are comparable to the project of New Delhi, ( we might say in Old Delhi or even in India)

An outstanding architect who came into the limelight around the turn of the 19th century to attain knighthood in the twentieth century, Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed many private houses, war memorials and public layouts , and not only in the UK but also in several parts of the World, and among which most notably was New Delhi known as the Lutyens Delhi.
A. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed many private houses, war memorials, and public layouts and not only in the UK but also in several parts of the World, and among which most notably was New Delhi,
B. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens had designed not only many private houses, war memorials and public estates in the UK but also in several parts of the World, most notably in New Delhi,
C. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed many private houses, war memorials, and public layouts, and not only in the UK but so in several parts of the World, among which was most notably in New Delhi,
D. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed many English private houses, war memorials, and public layouts not only in the UK but also in several parts of the World, the most notable of which was New Delhi,
E. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed many private houses, war memorials, and public layouts not only in the UK but also in several parts of the World, most notable of which was in New Delhi,

E. Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens designed many private houses, war memorials, and public layouts not only in the UK but also in several parts of the World, most notable of which was in New Delhi,
I think that one can easily come down to choices D and E. What I find difficult to understand is the intended meaning of the author in the original sentence.
Is the author trying to compare the private houses, war memorials and public layouts in UK vs the other of his designs in New Delhi? If yes, then E does not have any grammatical error and this is ought to be the right answer.
If the author is trying to compare the the private houses, war memorials and public layouts in UK vs New Delhi itself, then this comparison itself is not parallel.
It is like telling Luytens designed apples, oranges and grapes not only in UK but also in other parts of the world, most important of which was German car, known as Luytens car.
In my opinion this is one of the ambiguos questions.

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.
