(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.

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?
