I think the answer is D.

Here's why:

[spoiler]The phrase "in the maintenance of" is unidiomatic, so we eliminate A, B, and E.

I'm pretty sure about the reason for that elimination; however, just in case...

We can eliminate A, B since the sentences aren't parallel (does is used instead of is).

We can eliminate E since it is wordy (okay.. I guess that the only way I can see is that 'in the maintenance of' is a bit awkward).

We now have C and D. Choice C doesn't fully express the thought... it should say ... like social grooming IS for other primates. Because of this, I would go with answer choice D.[/spoiler]

I too feel the answer should be E.

X is important, just as Y is important.
