c. both of drug dependency and also from prejudicial treatment.

vaivish, what is the source of these questions? The questions don't seem to be of good quality. I don't think any of the choices given here would fit.

As others said,
I also think E is correct answer
bco It is parallel and uses both........and correctly.

The only problem I see is "as well" is not needed.

All of the answers are horrible - this is neither a real GMAT question nor a reasonable facsimile thereof either. :lol:
