this test the use of both ... and, modifier.
In D, the sentence is desultory, we can hardly understand american and Irish compliment for Competition,

A, should be against both .... and , NOT both against ... and
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

I agree with arorag..

But i sense another issue with D: "For protecting English manufacturures of wooden goods against American, as well as Irish, competion.. '

Is the bolded part ok in D?
