B is definitely the only valid answer.

C and D introduce the idea of the zones being "a new principle." Zones can't be a principle; they can represent one. (The fact that we're saying they're not a new principle doesn't really make a difference.)

A and E use "it" without a valid antecedent. If the zones aren't a new principle, then what does "it" stand for? It can't be "the old principle" if none has been mentioned!

While musing over the topic, I had only one thought in front. The urban zones are not a new principle ‘but’ an old one. There is a contrast manifest in the clause. Hence the choice falls on either B or D. IMO B is better because, physical things such as zones may not become as such a new principle but at best may represent a new principle.

IMO B.
A , E wrong -- 'it' is singular ... plural subject is needed.
C is wrong --- same subject (singular) as it is in A, E
D is also wrong for subject issue.

I will go for B.
In option B, NOT X, BUT Y comparision is clearly used. Hence no need to see other options

D is wrong here,

if D is split into branches, it will read as

The proposed urban development zones are not a new principle

The proposed urban development zones are one that .... (we have plural proposed urban developement zones, but one is singular)

if B is split into branches, it will read as

The proposed urban development zones represent not a new principle

The proposed urban development zones represent one that ...

B maintains parallelism
