Correct Answer: but also handles
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The preposition "but" is better suited in place of "and", as "but also" is a correlative conjunction, which helps in joining equal elements in a sentence. The correlative conjunctions "not only..but also" are always used together to present two things or ideas in a sentence, which in this case means that the secretary is very efficient as he gives the required information as well as handles correspondence independently.
The correct sentence is: "The secretary to my boss is very efficient, as he not only gives him the required information but also handles correspondence independently."
