IMO E
the correlative not only X but also Y requires parallelism between X and Y. Only C, D and E starts with from maintaining this parallelism so we can rule out A and B. Among C,D,E
IMO the intended meaning of the sentence is that Temporary-employment agencies benefit from the highly profits that they make when they place highly paid professionals and that the requests for these professionals have increased.
C) from the requests for highly paid professionals, who make higher profits for the agencies when placed and whose requests.
I think this suggests that the agencies benefit from the requests rather than from the profits
(D) from highly paid professionals, whose placement makes higher profits for the agencies and whose requests
I think this suggests that the agencies benefit from the highly paid professionals rather than from the profits they make
E) from the higher profits made in placing highly paid professionals, requests for whom
I think this answer keeps clearly the meaning. However, I don't know whether "made in placing" is idiomatic or not.
