关于代词的指代、MODIFIERS/AND的用法问题？e.g. the largest trade-book publisher

Dylan7788

[size=14.007px]The largest trade-book publisher in the US has announced the creation of a new digital imprint division, under which it will publish about 20 purely digital [size=14.0084px]works to be sold online as either electronic books or [size=14.007px]downloadable copies that can be printed upon purchase.

[size=14.007px]A) works to be sold online as either electronic books or
[size=14.007px]B) works to sell them online, either as electronic books or
[size=14.007px]C) works and it will sell them online as either electronic books or as
[size=14.007px]D) works, and selling them online as either electronic books or as
[size=14.007px]E) works, and it will sell them online as either electronic books or
[size=14.007px]

[size=14.007px]这是Ron的视频里的一题。用parallelism可删去BCD，那A和E该选哪个呢？to be sold 和 and，Ron说要看这两件事有没有内在逻辑联系。他说这里是new digital imprint division[size=14.007px]，这个division只需要publish，不用sell。但是这样的话，题中加粗的it指代的是什么呢？个人认为应该是the largest t-b publisher啊，不是这个division？？如果是这样的话，这个publisher可以publish也可以sell啊？
[size=14.007px]

[size=14.007px]很纠结，烦请各位大神解答，谢谢！

E改变了句意，将原句的purpose relationship 变成单纯的两件事并列关系；且原句是被动 没有强调sell的主语 E擅自加了主语

manhattan论坛上也有人问了相同的问题Ron是这么回答的：
[size=14.007px]that's why that version doesn't work.

[size=14.007px]as noted in the part you quoted, an [size=14.0084px]imprint[size=14.007px] division does what it says -- it publishes books. it doesn't sell them.

[size=14.007px]therefore:
[size=14.0084px]Under its imprint division, the company will publish books.[size=14.007px] —> makes sense
[size=14.0084px]Under its imprint division, the company will sell books.[size=14.007px] —> nonsense
[size=14.0084px]Under its imprint division, the company will publish and sell books.[size=14.007px] —> nonsense
