Warsaw
A & B are easily eliminated. E is eliminated because it is wrong grammar, it could have been a possibility if the sentence had used 'reconstructed'
Between C & D, I select C because it maintains the tone in the sentence 'injecting -> painstaking' and 'structures -> reconstructions'
Cold weather
B, C & E are easily eliminated. Between A & D, I would go with A because there is usage of 'to' twice in option D.

I agree there both D and C are contenders. And initially i went for D.
But after having a close look, i think C is correct.
Let's look at D and C.
C. Warsaw began to rebuild not only brand-new structures, injecting a much-needed boost to the local economy, but also painstaking reconstructions of the old ones............
Here [b]painstaking is an adjective and also brand new is an adjective...[/b]
so the as per the idiom not only x but also y, x and y are parallel.

Here painstakingly is an adverb,but brand new is an adjective...
so the as per the idiom not only x but also y, x and y are not parallel.
