Correct Answer: also too sweet.


Solution : The correct option is the fourth option.

Explanation:
This choice maintains the correct parallelism and concisely expresses the intended meaning. It aligns with the structure of the sentence by appropriately conveying that the dessert was not only extremely hot but also excessively sweet since not only is followed by but also as they are correlative conjunctions.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be, "The dessert was not just extremely hot but also too sweet".
