OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can not only damage the cochlea, the organ of the inner ear that converts sound into electrical impulses, but also the vestibule, which is the part that contributes to balance and spatial orientation.
A. not only damage
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The same part of speech that follows not only must also follow but also. Not only is followed by the verb damage. But also, however, is followed by the noun the vestibule.
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: not only... but also...
B. not only cause damage to
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The same part of speech that follows not only must also follow but also. Not only is followed by the verb cause. But also, however, is followed by the noun the vestibule.
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: not only... but also...
C. cause damage not only to
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The same part of speech that follows not only must also follow but also. Not only is followed by the preposition to. But also, however, is followed by the noun the vestibule.
What helps us identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: not only... but also...
D. damage not only
The same part of speech that follows not only must also follow but also. In this answer choice they are both followed by nouns: not only is followed by the noun the cochlea, and but also by the noun the vestibule.
E. damage
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. But also must be preceded by not only.

‘Not only’ and ‘but also’ structure should be parallel
We can easily narrow down the answer choices to A and D
In A, the structure is not only damage the cochlea but also the vestibule
Hence, its not parallel
The correct answer choice is D
