(A) of drug dependency and others' prejudicial treatment as well.

(D) both of drug dependency but also from prejudicial treatment.
(E) both of drug dependency and of prejudicial treatment as well.

I'm going with A but I'm not fully convinced because frankly each of the answer choices is horrible.

B) Using the word "both" would include X and Y. I don't like the "also" included in the answer.
C) Same problem with also ...
D) Same issue with also
E) It says "both" so including X and Y ... I don't like the "as well" at the end ... it is superfluous.

I think B.

The "as well" construction is redundant and awkward at the end of the sentence.

A for me.
In B, both of X and also of Y reads awkward.

In this question, all options are incorrect.

E is the closest, but 'as well' is redundant.
