      A Sustainable development not only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B needs political governance but needs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C to find spaces and platforms that Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D bring people together under a common goal. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The elements following both "not only" and "but also" should be grammatically parallel, meaning they should be the same part of speech (e.g., noun with noun, verb with verb). Using "not only" without "but also" leaves the sentence incomplete and grammatically incorrect. The sentence would then read: "Sustainable development not only needs political governance but also needs to find spaces and platforms that bring people together under a common goal." Therefore, B is the right answer.
