Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also caused erosion and very quickly deforested whole regions.

请问D选项的IT是否多余？C选项是否是因为creating和gaving和but also caused不平行

首先，要明白，这道题不是not only.....but also....的平行结构，而是单纯的but引导从句的转折结构。所以 A B 都错。
D 选项中 but 后面必须跟句子，所以it在这里是句子主语成分，是必需的。
C 选项错不是因为不平行，而是因为，but前的句子无谓语成分，而but后的句子又无主语成分，所以错。

那样改更错，颠倒了结构，严重背离了句子愿意。
