As illegal activity becomes more and more common in suburban communities, thieves are able not only to divert used car parts from various vehicles, but also to steal valuable information such as residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle and sell the information to dubious criminals.
1. Need parallelism between to divert, to steal and to sell the info.... to make sense. Otherwise, it breaks.
2. Other forms such as selling and use of and sell are incorrect.
(A) but also to steal valuable information such as residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle and sell -- refer 2. incorrect
(B) but also to steal valuable information that includes residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle, and selling -- refer 2.incorrect

The sentence says -
As illegal activity becomes more and more common in suburban communities, thieves are able
not only to divert used car parts from various vehicles,
but also to steal valuable information such as residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle
and sell the information to dubious criminals.
The problem checks two concepts:
Correct idiom - NOT only X, BUT also Y
The meaning - The sentence says that the thieves are able to do so and so To SELL the information (intent of the thieves action if done).
(A) but also to steal valuable information such as residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle and sell
The meaning of the sentence is : The thieves are able to do so and so and they are able to sell the information.
The intended meaning is : they do so and so for the purpose to sell the information. There is no question on the ability to sell the information.
(B) but also to steal valuable information that includes residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle, and selling
Thieves are able .... and selling ...- This does not meet the parallelism criteria.
(C) but also stealing valuable information including residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle and selling
NOT only X, BUT also Y; X and Y have to be parallel.
(D) but also to steal valuable information such as residential addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle, to sell
This is correct as in gives the intended meaning with correct idiom NOT only X, BUT also Y.
(E) but also stealing valuable information such as resident addresses, vehicle registration, and documents left in the vehicle, and selling
NOT only X, BUT also Y; X and Y have to be parallel.
IMO D
