The answer is A. The comparison is parallel.

A- Parallelism is consistent and maintained

B-Parallelism is inconsistent due to compare and comparing

C-Same as B but they are swapped

D-Use of Like is incorrect in this context

E-'s should not be followed by a noun hence this option is ruled out

The answer is "A".

What's the answer to this? IMO E

in A & B, what does "that" stands for in "the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with that of ordinary grape juice. ". It has to be "the exquisite bouquet"
so it becomes "the exquisite bouquet of a fine wine with [the exquisite bouquet] of ordinary grape juice. "
I don't think this makes sense.

Whereas in E, the comparison is between "fine wine’s bouquet" and "ordinary grape juice’s bouquet."

thanks.

Option a is correct.

a is better than e because it gets the parallelism bang on! Moreover in stylistic aspects, the use of 's with inanimate things is seldom preferred.

The structure in 'a' can be represented by:

to compare A of B with the C of D is to compare E of F with that (E) of G
