On grounds of parallelism, I think OA should be A

I don't agree with OA. A is parallel and so A is correct....

I also have problem with the OA.
E cannot be correct as it uses BUT. there is no contradiction between the two.

A maintains ||ism. to envision and to portray.

Can someone throw some light on as such idiom.

I got A as well. Could you double check OA?
