The Community Education group in Victor's school district does not offer as many programs as does my school district.

as does my school district

like my school district does

as does the Community Education group in my school district

compared to what my school district does

In some questions like this, the answer looks like C and it says that "does" or whatever else that works the same way as in this question, is implied and understood from the sentence and can be omitted.

I think it is D.

1) "Community Education Group in my school district" is totally parallel to "Community Education Group in Victor's district". "My" is parallel to "Victor's", as they are both in possessive form.
2) "Does" is required by "as", because we use AS in order to establish relationship between two actions.
