A - correct idiom is Jast as ....so
C - Which is non essential clause so need a comma before it
D - while is used to show contrast not similarities
E - sound awkward 'giving of polio vaccine'

(B) is correct

like polio vaccine, which is given to every person to protect the few who might contract polio, mass dietary change is needed to protect the significant number who are susceptible to the life-threatening effects of press eating habits.

Which correctly refers to PV.

also if we remove the phrase in between, the sentence reads like PV, MDC

PV & MDC are nouns and like is needed.

Agree with s_raizada with explanations
