In 1900, civil engineer John Elfreth Watkins predicted the future in his article "What May Happened in the Next Hundred Years," a forecast of fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone as well as a visualization of a new set of technological advances.
(A) a forecast of fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone as well as a visualization of a
the structure is parallel but we need a verb-ing to show the result of EWs prediction. hence A is out
(B) a forecast of fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone and also his visualizing of a
same error as in A + "and also" is redundant.
(C) a forecast of fourteen inventions after the creation of the telephone and visualizing as well
same error as in A + the structure is not parallel ("a forecast" and "visualizing")
(D) forecasting fourteen inventions from the creation of the telephone forward and also a visualization of
"and also" is redundant.
(E) forecasting fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone as well as his own visualizing of
the structure is parallel and free of all other discussed errors.

(A) a forecast of fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone as well as a visualization of a - Correct
(B) a forecast of fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone and also his visualizing of a - Incorrect parallelism. Option A seems much better than this option.
(C) a forecast of fourteen inventions after the creation of the telephone and visualizing as well - and - as well is redundant. We do not need both in a sentence.
(D) forecasting fourteen inventions from the creation of the telephone forward and also a visualization of - From the creation of telephone forward is the wrong construction. It does not make sense.
(E) forecasting fourteen inventions since the creation of the telephone as well as his own visualizing of - Predicting and forecasting mean the same. Forecasting cannot be used as a modifier.

Shouldn't option 'E' be incorrect because of parallelism error and not modifier error?
Because when a verb +'ing' is placed after a clause preceded by a comma , it should modify the entire preceding clause, either giving additional information about the preceding clause or giving a result of the preceding clause.
In this case isn't forecasting modifying the fact that the engineer predicts the future in the article by forecasting so so.... ?
Nevertheless option A is the correct option.
would appreciate if any expert would verify my question.
Cheers !
