It should be C.

Both A and B look unidiomatic.

There is no "as much as" or "more than".

D and E are awkard.

C is correct. WHats OA?

IMO A.

D changes the meaning. "as" rightly introduces a clause & also conveys the meaning of the sentence correctly.

This question was posted many times earlier. Here's one link --> https://www.beatthegmat.com/new-hair-t14570.html#61841
