I think A is fine.

b cofuses the sentence with word "teaching". it is not clear whether teaching should be kept with first part or can be carried to second also...

I agree with Macca. This is an ellipsis and you don't need the additional "with." He was charged with X (teaching false doct.) and Y (administrative miscond.).

I'd go for D.

In all other choices "teaching" is used as verb, while in D it is used as noun. Since "misconduct" is a noun, to maintain the parallelism, teaching should be used as noun.

If both had to be used as verb then the correct sentence should have been:

"charged with teaching false doctrine and with misconducting administration"
which seems a little awkward.

Any comments ??

Classic GMAT trap. Expect to see one like this on test day.

Consider this: The motorist was charged with running a red light, and with fleeing the scene? The second with is idiomatic. Additionally, the second with is required because he will be prosecuted on those charges seperately.
