Spotting Errors

Q: Find the error in the sentence: The new teacher / is highly proficient / in teaching both / English as well as History.

Correct Answer: Option C (in teaching both). The error is in part C. The correlative conjunction pair is 'both... and'. So, 'as well as' should be replaced by 'and' in part D. Let me adjust the string splitting: 'teaching both' (C) / 'English and History' (D).
