Solution:
Parallelism
B: The parts in bold violate parallelism à “it was a source… , and its hide used for…, with its antlers and bones for…”
C: “as well as” violates parallelism.
D: main verb is missing in “which,…, its hide was used for…”
E: After colon, an independent clause is needed. “with…” is not an independent clause.
A: Maintains parallelism.
“its hide was used for clothing(x), its antlers and bones (were used) for tools(y), and its sinews and gut (were used) for binding and glue(Z).
Therefore, three clauses(x, y, and z) are parallel.
