in a rise not only in one’s salary but also in your self-esteem.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

There are two parallelism problems here. Phrases such as not only . . . but also (correlatives) should be followed by phrases that are parallel in structure. And pronouns such as one’s and your should not both be used in the same sentence. The correct version here is D, which follows not only . . . but also with parallel phrases (in one’s salary and in one’s self-esteem). It also uses the same pronoun (one’s) in both phrases. All of the other versions have at least one, and sometimes two, parallelism errors.
