(E) not only to downsize significantly, laying off over 5000 employees around the country, but also terminating the Neith's relationship with Arachne Unlimited, who in the past year were
First, we should read the meaning of the sentence, "laying off over 5000 employees" modified the verb "to downsize significantly" and is not the same logical parallel item. Moreover, we scan through the parallel item with the marker "not only A, but also B", we will spot the correct one as choice D.

1. The first reasoning is that Arachne Corp.’ is a non-human singular entity; so, we need- which was- D is the only choice with the combination.
2. Second split on correlative //ism; not only to… but also to. D is once again the only choice with that combination
I think two splits are good enough. But to know the tenets of grammar thoroughly
3. Modification; to downsize is through the process of laying off; so laying off needn’t be parallel to downsize.This leaves D and E. Between D and E, we can eliminate E either on correlative conjunction or on SV mismatch of the verb were.
