A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence uses 'not only...but also' construction correctly. When 'not only' comes before 'are,' the parallel structure requires 'also for pulling sleighs' to complete the thought. This maintains proper parallelism with the earlier items (hides and milk) and follows the grammatical requirements of this construction.
