I just happened to read your previous comment 
Idiom is "interested in [doing something]"
"in" is required in both clauses to maintain proper idiom and is in no way redundant.

I picked D
I think the correct idiom usage is :
interested in X and Y
interested in X as well as in Y
Gurus correct me if I am wrong
-S
