    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    While using 'not only......but also' in a sentence, parallelism must be considered. In other words, the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of the speech. For example, if a verb follows 'not only', a verb should also follow 'but also'.

    So, in this sentence, 'but also' is used before 'going', so 'not only' will be used before 'coming', e.g., Mr. Sharma stopped not only coming to hospital but also going to other places.
