IMHO, A is right.
all other choises use redundant words

This seems to be a very bad question. All the options are wrong.

A - not parallel
B/C - usage of both and also is redundant
D - no contrast is shown here to use but and wrong idiom.
E - both and as well - again redundant

E would be best among the worst if 'as well' isn't there.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
