(A) seems the correct answer

(B) - Wrong, courage compared to Rosa park

(C) - Wrong, courage compared to Rosa park

(D) - awkward sentence formation 'for refusing to...'

(E) - We are comparing courage of Jackie with courage of Rosa, therefore 'like' is better than 'as'

IMO A

IMO A

IMO -- E

Guys, Isnt "Not Unlike" redundant. thats the only problem I have with option "A".. else everything else looks fine.

Please advice

Even though "not unlike" seems to be redundant, GMAT uses it. I also found such things in OG as well.

not unlike ~ like

A - Correct

While Jackie Robinson was a Brooklyn Dodger, his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

(A) not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused

(B) not unlike Rosa Parks, who refused

(C) like Rosa Parks and her refusal

(D) like that of Rosa Parks for refusing

(E) as that of Rosa Parks, who refused

B, C are eliminated because courage is compared to a person
E is eliminated because the sentence would be : his courage was as that of Rosa Parks.. it does not sounds like comparison of his courage to that of Rosa Parks

out of A and D, I would go with D rather than A because of uncomfortable usage of 'not unlike' in A.

(E) as that of Rosa Parks, who refused

My pick is A.
Jackie Robinson courage is compared with that of Rosa Parks, which is correct and missing in the rest of the choices.
C and D are wrong ..the use of like changes the meaning of the sentence. E also changes the meaning of the sentence.
B is wrong for wrong comparison

This is a 1000 SC question and one of the nightmares for me always. Correct answer is A here. I am sure that I will not be wrong this time.
