A and D: both penetrating radar equipment...as well as clues
Here, both...as well as is unidiomatic.
Correct: both X and Y.
Eliminate A and D.

both X and Y must serve to connect PARALLEL FORMS.

B: both...equipment...and used
Here, equipment and used are not parallel forms.
Eliminate B.

C: both...equipment...and taking
Here, equipment and taking are not parallel forms.
Eliminate C.

The correct answer is E.

OA: both...equipment...and clues
Here, equipment and clues are parallel forms.

C: film director Cecil B. DeMille's autobiography
The apostrophe here is correctly used, but it is attached to a rather long noun phrase (film director Cecil B. Demille).
The GMAT would probably prefer the construction in the OA (the autobiography of film director Cecil B. Demille).
