Tropical bats play important roles in the rain forest ecosystem, aiding in the dispersal of cashew, date, and fig seeds; pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help produce tequila by pollinating agave plants.
  
(A) pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help produce
  
(B) pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly helping to produce
  
(C) pollinating banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and they indirectly help to produce
  
(D) they pollinate banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; and indirectly help producing
  
(E) they pollinate banana, breadfruit, and mango trees; indirectly helping the producing of
  这一句的E选项,OG给的解释是 Although this version maintains parallelism throughout, the phrase helping the producing is an incorrect construction in English.
我想知道,为什么它维持了平行呢?难道they pollinate没有破坏平行吗?求指教。

另外贴出我找到的对于这道题分词用法的理解。
So far, we have seen construction in which semicolons are always followed by independent clauses.
However, here we have phrases that are connected through semicolon.
In fact, in this sentence semicolons have been used as comma to separate various entities in a parallel. This does not mean that semicolon will not perform the earlier function anymore. In this sentence, we have too many commas because every entity in the parallel list has three examples. If there were commas all across the sentence, it would be little cumbersome to identify the entities in the parallel list. then Hence, use of semicolon becomes imperative here to distinguish between the examples of a particular entity and the next entity in the parallel list.

牛牛君,这个……是我表达有问题吗?
我们在讨论的不是E选项吗?
按照我们一开始说的,我们都同意E也是个 ...

E选项最后那个分号也是要区别前面的逗号的并列,就是与banana, breadfruit, and mango trees加以区别,在结构上不会破坏并列,这样反而表达了Tropical bats play......aiding...; they pollinate........helping........这个并列结构。

我想,OG是想说E选项从整个句子结构上看,Tropical bats play......aiding...; they pollinate........helping........这在结构上是对称的。这只是就事论事的解释,也是OG的一个特点,你习惯就好了。

这是个老问题,这里的分号不是断句的作用,而是在并列结构中区别于逗号,而在更高一个层级来表达并列。

不好意思,我有点糊涂了。
...; indirectly helping the producing of这个分号跟谁表达并列?我觉得无法说服自己的是因为,前半句aiding前是逗号,而这里是分号。

这句正确的并列是aiding,pollinating,helping三个分词并列,但要区别高于前面cashew, date, and fig seeds,banana, breadfruit, and mango trees 这些名词的并列,所以用分号。
