The proposed urban development zones do not represent a new principle; it was employed in "Operation Bootstrap" in Puerto Rico.

(A) do not represent a new principle; it
(B) represent not a new principle, but one that
(C) are not a new principle; the same one
(D) are not a new principle, but one that
(E) are not new in principle; it

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
