Yo man!!!.......nice question.

My stake on D

The first thing I can say here is -two things can be compared only when they have some specific characteristics
For example : I can compare my "talent" with Nick's "talent"-- --but I cannot compare my "talent" with Nick's "humour"

In the above question : "smooth and continuous" is compared to "icy ringlets" which are two different characteristics
For comparison usage of "though" is done, but the sentence itself is not comparing any similar characteristics

Hence I will rule out all options with "though".

The only left is D ---which is perfect.
