Grammar

Not merely and Not only

Hi everybody! I've done my homework and there is one problem I can't solve. Hope everybody will help me.
In this sentence : Not ________are business-sponsored placements becoming more common, the government is also investing money and aiming to recruit volunteers.
A. only B. just C. merely D. simply
So which one would you choose? I wonder whether there are differences among them.
Thank you in advance!
