Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
"Not only helped her by" should be replaced with "helped her not only by" thereby indicating that the speaker helped in two ways. Here, "helped her not only by giving hints but also by providing him with links" maintains the parallel structure in the sentence.
The other options are grammatically incorrect.
Therefore, the correct statement should be: "I had helped her not only by giving hints but also by providing him with links."
