As well as heat and light, the Sun is the source

by shreerajp99 Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:14 am

As well as heat and light, the Sun is the source of a continuous stream of atomic particles known as the solar wind.

A.
B. Besides heat and light, also the Sun is the source of a continuous stream
C. Besides heat and light, the Sun is also the source of a continuous streaming
D. The Sun is the source not only of heat and light, but also of a continuous stream
E. The Sun is the source not only of heat and light but, as well, of a continuous streaming

I marked C but correct ans is D,why is C wrong,is it because of streaming?
