答案 B
解析 The sentence tells us that the interest rates on two classes of loans are affected by the prime lending rate. The structure not only... but also ..., consisting of two adverbial modifiers, conveys this.
The position of the two modifiers is crucial in order to know what each modifies. Furthermore, it is essential that the two things modified be parallel.
A    In this choice, not only are the interest rates ... but also on is not parallel.
B    Correct. This choice uses a correctly parallel form not only on ... but also on ...
C    In this choice, the interest rates not only on .. . but also is not parallel.
D    In this choice, not only the interest rates on ... are... is idiomatically incorrect: when not only begins an independent statement, the order of subject and verb in the not only part must be inverted as in not only are ...
E    In this choice, the interest rates not only on ... but also is not parallel.
The correct answer is B.
