A quick way to get at this one is to notice the 'Both A and B' idiom. Because the structure of the sentence is 'both Prehistoric Textiles...and B' that the only noun phrase that follows the and is in (E), with Women's Work. And just like that we have arrived at the answer  .

@chris when to use "also"then? is the usage of "also"incorrect here and how about the second part "is an expert authority about" - isn't about correct?

A
Author of both X, modifier, and Y. If "both" was not there, also would have been acceptable.
