My take:-

Option A: Use of “and also” is redundant.

Option B: This is the correct idiom: ”Both x and y”, and not “Both x plus y”.

Option C: Both “prepositional phrase” and “noun phrase”.

Option D: The use of ’which’ is incorrect. It’s important to mention ‘superior strength’.
“Which was superior” seems to be incorrect. The strength might be superior now too; there seems to be a tense issue.

Option E: “the fact” seems wordy. I think the correct answer might be either D or E; I will go with E.

Need the source. Experts please comment.

I split down to A and D . I think A could be answer because D is wordy.

Thanks all for your comments. There was an error in the question as posted originally. I have since updated the answer choices and it should be more clear now.
