Question Og-11 Sc-14

14. The commission has directed advertisers to restrict the use of the word “natural”
to foods that do not contain color or flavor additives, chemical preservatives, or
nothing that has been synthesized.
(A) or nothing that has been
(B) or that has been
(C) and nothing that is
(D) or anything that has been
(E) and anything

OA
SPOILER: D

Can someone justify the OA

jiril842002,

Take a look at a clue "do not contain"
if you use "nothing", it will be a double negative which means positive.

It is a problem of parallelism.
color or flavor additives(a), chemical preservatives(b), or anything~~
