Proofreading
To my understanding proofreading is one of the following:
A. All writers should do
B. You don't need to do if you are a good writer
C. Only inexperienced writers need to do
D. You can only do for yourself
I feel that A is the correct answer. I feel that no matter how good you are , there is that chance that there might be a mistake made.
Please advise if this is correct and if not , please explain.

A. [Should read] All writers should do it. C and D need the 'it', too-- (though both would still be incorrect answers).

From the way all the choices are phrased, I think the exercise was probably 'complete the following sentence':
Proof-reading is something that .....
in which case the 'it' changes would not be necessary.

A. Proofreading is something that all writers
