My answer is (D). It took me 01:15.

For perfect parallelism between "X and Y", (A) or (D) must be the correct answer.

Now, what does "that" modify? "one" (singular) or "fatty acids" (plural)?
It is directly after "fatty acids". And its meaning is reasonable if we believe "that" modifies "fatty acids".
So. (D) it is.

A) supports the immune system and promotes -> "that" modifies "fatty acids", which is plural. So, we need plural verb, not singular verb, supports. Incorrect.

B) support the immune system as well as promote -> SVA error is corrected. But, "support the immune system" and "promote health of the heart" are different items. It will be better, if we use "and" as conjunction. Incorrect.

C) support the immune system and is a promoter of -> We lost the parallelism. The items "support the immune system and is a promoter of" are not parallel. Incorrect.

D) support the immune system and promote -> It is better. Let's keep it.

E) support the immune system and are the promoters of increased -> We have the Parallelism error again. Incorrect.

So, I think D. :)

The verb after "that" will be used for the noun right before "that"
We have fatty acids is a plural noun --> Verb should be support

A) supports the immune system and promotes

B) support the immune system as well as promote
"and" is better

C) support the immune system and is a promoter of
Not parallel

D) support the immune system and promote
correct answer.

E) support the immune system and are the promoters of increased
Not parallel
