Folks,
can you explain why D is incorrect?
I thought D makes sentence parallel: to run....to expand.

There are two things discussed here which is connected by "and".

Correct idiom is : "ability to ..." & "interested in.....".

"Interested to" is wrong usage.

Also...usage of "to" is not correct.... its not the purpose here.
