(A) That the exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s Byzantine interior requires extensive experience and caution has been proven both by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers and by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save those amateur cave divers.
INCORRECT. SV (Subject-Verb) error. "..exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s Byzantine interior " must go with "require" and not "requires"
(B) That the exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s Byzantine interior require extensive experience and caution has been proven just as much by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers as by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save those amateur cave divers.
CORRECT. All SV errors are addressed in this statement.
(C) Proven just as much by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers as well as by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save those amateur cave divers, the exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s interior requires extensive experience and caution.
INCORRECT. SV Error
(D) The exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s interior requires extensive experience and caution, as has been proven not only by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers but also by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save them.
INCORRECT. SV Error
(E) The process of exploring and mapping the underwater cave system’s interior require extensive experience and caution, proven both by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers as much as by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save them.
INCORRECT. SV Error

OA: A
Meaning:
exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s interior needs extensive experience and caution because of the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers and the massive costs of the rescue operations to save those divers.
A) No error. Correct choice
B)
i) Idiom: Just as X so Y or Just as X, Y. Just as X, as Y is incorrect
C)
i) Idiom error like B Just as X, as well as Y is incorrect
ii) Subject verb agreement error: Exploration & mapping needed a plural verb. Requires is singular
D)
i) Subject verb agreement error: Exploration & mapping needed a plural verb. Requires is singular
E)
i) The process of... makes the sentence a little too wordy. It is not a deterministic error but when the margins are too thin between options it can be used as a ground to reject a choice
ii) Idiom error: Both X and Y is correct. Both X as much as Y is incorrect
Correct ans is A
P.S.
Since the correct ans is A it also makes me question that the correct option has Byzantine interior which only option A and B. Is it a ground on which C, D and E be eliminated?

(A) That the exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s Byzantine interior requires extensive experience and caution has been proven both by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers and by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save those amateur cave divers.
--> Incorrect. Subject verb agreement error - for statement format "..exploration and subsequent mapping.. requires.." - 'require' should be used instead of 'requires'
(B) That the exploration and subsequent mapping of the underwater cave system’s Byzantine interior require extensive experience and caution has been proven just as much by the near-death experiences of amateur cave divers as by the massive costs of the rescue operations to save those amateur cave divers.
--> Correct. - Though this sentence changes the meaning of the original sentence slightly by indicating the equal magnitude of proof is provided by 'near-death experience' and 'massive costs of rescue operation', this sentence does not have any grammatical error.

--> Incorrect. - sentence format '..proven both by X as much as by Y..' is incorrect, instead it should be 'proven both by X & by Y'.
--> Incorrect. Subject verb agreement error - for statement format "..exploration and subsequent mapping.. requires.." - 'require' should be used instead of 'requires'
