Except for one class in history and one in biology, all the student's graduation requirements have been fulfilled.


(A) Except for one class in history and one in biology, all the student's graduation requirements have been fulfilled.
(B) Except for needing to take one class in history and one in biology, the student has fulfilled all of his requirements for graduation.
(C) The student has fulfilled all his graduation requirements except for one class in history and one in biology.
(D) Except for one history class and one biology class, the student has fulfilled all of his graduation requirements.
(E) Aside from the history class and biology class that he needs to take, the student's graduation requirements have all been fulfilled.

I am confused between C and D. OA is D.

IMO - D, "One History class and one biology class" is require here to keep the meaning intact.
