This does not seem to be a very GMAT like problem. Someone twisted the hell out of it.
For example, the original statement contains an error in the use of "as" so that indicated a like vs as problem but all other 4 options had "like". This is not the usual 2/3 split. Secondly, it also indicated a parallelism issue, which was also ONLY in the original sentence, and not repeated anywhere. Again not very GMAT like.

Can you please quote the source of the question? I hope it's a reliable one.

As spotted by others,parallelism is the main error.Other minor errors are:

A) has reported from Beijing - where most of the story takes place - and she emigrated to the New York area when she was a teenager, just as the main character in the story does.

B) has reported from Beijing - where most of the story takes place - and, like the main character in the story, emigrated to the New York area when she was a teenager.

C) has reported from Beijing - where most of the story takes place - and she emigrated to the New York area when she was a teenager, just like the main character in the story does.

-Like should be followed by a Noun and not a noun clause

D) has reported from Beijing - where most of the story takes place - and, she, like the main character in the story does, emigrated to the New York area when she was a teenager.

-Like should be followed by a Noun and not a noun clause

E) has reported from Beijing - where most of the story takes place - and, she, like the main character in the story, emigrated to the New York area when she was a teenager.

- comma + verb + -ed form modifies the noun preceding it.So emigrated modifies story

Please thank if you find my post useful.
