As per 'not only' …. 'but also' //ism …. drop D and E.
Use of ‘like’ for examples …. drop B.
Between A and C: C is more parallel with ‘not only how the natives acquired’ but also ‘how they traded’( both past tenses) while A says not only ‘how the natives acquired’ … but also ‘how the study involves’ – a combi of past and present tense. A, in addition to being extra-wordy, a noun ( trade and exchange) is inferior to the more dynamic verb – (traded and exchanged) as per VAN rules.
So, C

We have already included 'the study' at the beginning of the non-underlined part, so no need to bring it in the 'NOT ONLY .... , BUT ALSO...' phrasing.
Only C follows this rule. Hence the correct answer.
