A) looks okish.. not sure about the "as well" at the end.
B) the correct idiom is "both of X and Y" .. here, "both of X and also of Y" is redundant & wrong
C) the correct idiom is "both of X and Y" .. here, "both of X and also from Y" is redundant & wrong
D) both of X, but also Y is just horrible. SOS.
E) the correct idiom is "both of X and of Y" .. here, "both of X and also from Y" is redundant & wrong

looks like A is the best answer
