please remember that you're looking at a wrong answer.
In THAT context, no, that's not an acceptable form—but the verbs aren't the source of the problem. The issue here is that choice C tries to write a LIST OF THREE PARALLEL ITEMS as "x, y, BUT z". That is not a framework that actually exists in English.
The only two conjunctions that CAN be used to make lists of 3 or more items are "and" and "or".
I.e.,
[i]x, y, and z
and
x, y, or z
are valid frameworks for a list of 3 parallel items. There are no others.
Quote:
The meaning of this choice is "Shoppers will buy only what they walked into the store for; they will not ALSO buy x and y other things".
"Shoppers will buy only what they walked into the store for; they will not also buy x other thing OR y other thing" would ALSO be a reasonable and valid form for the sentence—but that's just not the way in which D is written.

There's no redundancy.
Please consider this simpler version of the sentence for a moment:
Quote:
In this sentence, this "and" connects the VERBS "leave" and "[not] buy".
"As well" isn't redundant because it doesn't link the same two verbs. Instead, "as well" means "as well as a basketball". (If this isn't clear, try substituting "in addition" for "as well"; you may find that construction more intuitive.)
The only extra complication in this sentence is that, instead of just "a pair of skis", it's "a pair of skis and a boomerang". Still no redundancy—this new "and" connects the skis and the boomerang, while the other "and" and the "as well" are still doing the same jobs mentioned above.
