Can anyone help me to understand difference between these two?
A) Diabetes ranks as the nation’s third leading cause of the death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.
B) Diabetes ranks as the nation’s third leading cause of the death, surpassing only by heart disease and cancer.
I have already read E-GMAT explanation but I am not able to understand why B) is grammatically wrong?
It would be helpful if anyone clears my doubt. Thanks in advance.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/diabetes-tog ... 21132.html This question is discussed here.
Are you sure option B is the same way you've mentioned? Or is this your made-up answer choice? Because I don't see surpassing anywhere in the answer choices, also its usage is ambiguous.
