I think D....

You cannot use instead of with a verb.... instead of can only be used with nouns... so.... A, B and E out.....

In C, problem... rather than buying.....real estate.... OUT.

E for correct comparison.

Others incorrectly compare buying stocks and bonds with real estate.

How is D different?


D is different, because the first part of the sentence has a verb, which refers to young people: rather than buy stocks and bonds.....young people have turned increasingly to

while E says that: Instead of stocks and bonds.......young people... which is illogical.
