Thanks everyone for their overwhelming participation in this question. Here is the much awaited solution!
President Clinton spent significant money on the “No Child Left Behind” program in several school districts throughout the country, which led to a boom in the school construction industry and also added thousands of jobs for teachers and support staff.
• President Clinton spent significant money on the “No Child Left Behind” program in several school districts throughout the country,
• which led to a boom in the school construction industry and also added thousands of jobs for teachers and support staff.
President Clinton spent money on a particular program in several schools. This spending has resulted in two things:
o Boom in the school construction industry
o Addition of jobs for teachers and support staff.
Error Analysis
• President Clinton spent significant money on the “No Child Left Behind” program in several school districts throughout the country,
• which led to a boom in the school construction industry and also added thousands of jobs for teachers and support staff.
Error 1 – Per the meaning of the sentence, the action of spending resulted into two things. Here relative pronoun “which” has been used to mention the results of the action in the preceding clause. This is incorrect because “which” can only refer to a noun entity and not a clause.
PoE
A. which led to a boom in the school construction industry and also added: Incorrect for the reasons stated above.
B. which not only led to a boom in the school construction industry, but also added: Incorrect. Repeats the same error as in choice A.
C. not only leading to a boom in the school construction industry but also adding: Correct Answer
D. leading to a boom in the school construction industry, which also added: Incorrect.
Error 1 – Use of “which” is incorrect because it illogically modifies the preceding noun entity “the school construction industry”. Per this choice, the sentence means that the school construction industry added jobs for teachers and support staff.E. more on simplistic design and is more functional than are: Incorrect.
E. leading to a boom in the construction industry of school, which added: Incorrect. Repeats the same error as in choice AD
1. Relative pronouns CANNOT refer to the preceding clause. They can only refer to the preceding noun entity. So when the function of the modifier is to modify preceding clause, then relative pronoun modifiers cannot be used.
2. Comma + Verb-ing modifier presents the result of the preceding clause.
Thanks.

In this option WHICH refers to Country but the original intent is to focus on the results of program. Thus INCORRECT. Moreover use of AND changes the meaning
B. which not only led to a boom in the school construction industry, but also added -
In this option WHICH refers to Country but the original intent is to focus on the results of program. Thus INCORRECT
C. not only leading to a boom in the school construction industry but also adding -
Use of Participle correctly explains the results of the program. Moreover, Not only X But also lists two results succinctly. Thus CORRECT
D. leading to a boom in the school construction industry, which also added -
In this option WHICH refers to industry.This is grammatically correct but it changes the original intent. Thus INCORRECT
E. leading to a boom in the construction industry of school, which added-

Hope it helps.
