A for me and my explanation is as under:
'Both' could refer to small companies and large conglomerates - but since all the answer choices has 'as well as', small and large companies is not the correct link. However, since 'both is used in all answer choices it must be linking something, the link is 'newer and smaller'. Only answer choices A and D use it correctly...Both X and Y and that eliminates the rest of the choices.
Between A and D, A is concise and uses the format....success of X as well as Y...and hence should be the right answer.
A. now they take an active role in the success of both companies that are newer and smaller as well as - [Seems correct]
B. now take an active role in the success both of newer, smaller companies as well as that of [both X...as well as that of Y]
C. they take an active role now in the success both of newer, smaller companies, as well as those of [in addition to the error in B, success + those, SV does not agree]
D. take an active role now in the successes of both companies that are newer and smaller as well as those of [SV agrees ie 'successess + those' but fails the test of 'X as well as Y' in using 'X as well as those of Y']
E. take an active role now in both the success of newer, smaller companies as well as [Same as B]

I am still doubt because as per my understanding both should be accompanied by "and" and not with "as well as".
None of the options has "and" in them.
Can you please explain, if "as well as" is the correct usage.
