B. music, transferring it from one formatto another, copying it, and digitally altering it with little effort and nodamage to

C. music, transferring them from one formatto another, copy them, and digitally alter them with little effort and nodamage to

D. music and transfer it from one format toanother, copy it, and then digitally altering it with little effort and notdamaging

E. music and transfer it from one format toanother, copying it, and digitally alter it with little effort and no damage to

Since digital recording offers essentially perfect reproduction - on compact discs, digital audiotapes, or digital videodiscs - audiophiles can accumulate vast collections of music, transferring them from one format to another, copying it, and digitally altering it with little effort and not damaging the sound quality.

a. music, transferring them from one format to another, copying it, and digitally altering it with little effort and not damaging

b. music, transferring it from one format to another, copying it, and digitally altering it with little effort and no damage to

c. music, transferring them from one format to another, copy them, and digitally alter them with little effort and no damage to

d. music and transfer it from one format to another, copy it, and then digitally altering it with little effort and not damaging

e. music and transfer it from one format to another, copying it, and digitally alter it with little effort and no damage to

A, B, D, and E all use the singular pronoun "it" to refer to the plural noun "collections." They are also not parallel.

At first I thought C was not parallel, but the trick is recognizing that "transferring..." is part of the accumulating vast collections of music:

...audiophiles can accumulate vast collectons of music, transferring them from one format to another, copy them, and digitally alter them with little effort and no damage to

这个就是prep界面原解释，它觉得先行词是music。。。。

不好意思，是我之前搞错了。
我一直按照你的思路去想为什么，发现我们都走入一个误区了。
audiophiles can accumulate vast collections of music
, transferring修饰的是前面的clause，所以主语是audiophiles， 如果用it，music就是一首歌，既然audiophiles是复数，那怎么会很多音乐爱好者去transfer一首歌呢？
