Answer:

D) FP

Explanation:

The sentence is incorrect because it is not parallel. It should read: "The professional basketball player not only wants success, but also wants money."

The word "also" is a conjunctive adverb, which means it should be followed by a complete sentence. In this sentence, "but also" is followed by a noun phrase ("money"), which makes the sentence incorrect.
