Answer:

Correlative

Step-by-step explanation:

"not only... but also" is a correlative conjunction. Correlative conjunctions are those that connect two equal grammatical items. When using these conjunctions, it is very important to make sure that we maintain verb and pronoun agreement. We also have to be careful about maintaining parallelism.
