Hi,
not only X .. but also Y is the correct idiom.
So contenders are B,C,D.
In B "but also when glaciers melt" does not make any sense.. so out.
In D.. result not only from X.. but also from Y is parallel.
So D it is.
Regards,
Dom.

This GMAT Prep question tests parallelism in ‘not only --- but also’ correlative conjunctions. The correct idiom to be observed is --- not only X --- but also Y. When elaborated, this means that what is on the right side of ‘not only’ should be maintained on the right side of ‘but also’ too.
(A) are not only a result of changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but of melting glaciers as well ---- misses ‘but also’ correlation format
(B) not only result from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also when glaciers melt --- ‘not only from --- but also when’ is not parallel
(C) are a result not only of changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also the melting glaciers – ‘not only of --- but also the’ is not parallel
(D) result not only from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also from the melting of glaciers – the correct choice that keeps // intact with ‘ ‘not only from – but also from’
(E) result from not only changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but as well as when glaciers melt ---- misses the but also format as in A
(A) are not only a result of changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but of melting glaciers as well ---- misses ‘but also’ correlation format
(B) not only result from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also when glaciers melt --- ‘not only from --- but also when’ is not parallel
(C) are a result not only of changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also the melting glaciers – ‘not only of --- but also the’ is not parallel
(D) result not only from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also from the melting of glaciers – the correct choice that keeps // intact with ‘ ‘not only from – but also from’
(E) result from not only changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but as well as when glaciers melt ---- misses the but also format as in A
