Hello PrachiiPrasaad,
We hope this finds you well.
To answer your query, while “either” cannot be used without “or”, “or” can be used without “either”; the same logic also holds true for "neither" and "nor".
We hope this helps.
All the best!

Following are the errors in Option A -
i) Pronoun Error: "them" is ambiguous. "them" can logically refer to "credit cards, high rates"
ii) Idiom Error: "in demanding" is incorrectly used in this sentence. Would not rely on eliminating Option A only on this error. But since we also have Pronoun Ambiguity we can eliminate it safely.
Eliminate Option A.

-> No pronoun ambiguity here since "them" is not used.
-> "demand for" is correctly parallel to "use of".
-> "in the demand" is used correctly in the sentence.
Let's keep Option B.

Following are the errors in Option C -
i) Parallelism Error:"neither" is followed by a noun "a significant" while "nor" is followed by a preposition "in".
ii) Pronoun Error: Same as in Option A, "them" is ambiguous. "them" can logically refer to "credit cards, high rates"
iii) Sentence Structure Error: The comma between "neither....nor" is incorrect.
Can get rid of Option C.

Following are the errors in Option D -
i) Meaning Error: Changes meaning. It says that "there has been a significant decline"
ii) Pronoun Error: Same as in Option A & C, "them" is ambiguous. "them" can logically refer to "credit cards, high rates"
iii) Sentence Structure Error: Same as in Option C, the comma between "neither....nor" is incorrect.
Let's get rid of Option D

Following are the errors in Option E -
i) Parallelism Error:"neither" is followed by a preposition "in demanding" while "or" is followed by a gerund "using"
ii) Idiom Error: "neither X or Y" is incorrect. The correct conjunction is "neither X nor Y"
Lets get rid of Option E.
So Option B is our answer
