Re: Until Berta and Ernst Scharrer established the concept of ne

Split between either cells or cells either.

To preserve parallelism, cells either must be choosen

cells either secreted hormones or conducted impulses.

Between D and E, D is correct as it is parallel with the non underlined part of the sentence.
