Solution
His teachers and the parents gave him enough practice.
Explanation:
There is a connecting word "not only...but also" in the original line that links two clauses. To make it easier to understand, we need to combine the knowledge in a way that makes it clear. This is done in Option B by using the word "and" to connect the two themes ("His teachers" and "the parents") into a single, clear action.
