hi Ozlemg
don`t you think that construction in C
as either...or as... is not ||.
better version may be: either as ...or as.
can you share you ideas?

This is how I analysed the answer choices.
A) as either (EB) or (DC)
B) either as (EB) or (DC) {"as" is missing before DC}
C) as either (EB) or as (DC) {"as" is placed before either}
D) as either (EB) or as (DC) {"as" is placed before either} similar to choice C
E) either as (EB) or (DC) {"as" is missing before DC} similar to choice B

Best!!!
A
