C: that they are dwellings that must operate like business
D: that, as dwellings, they must also operate like businesses
E: to be a dwelling that must also operate as a business.

please suggest.

A should be the right answer here.

Work as Xmeans work in the capacity of x.
All the options that used "like" can be eliminated. B,C,and D are out.

In the option E, "as a business" is correct but "Houses" cannot be business. It should be businesses.
Only option A stands.
many people quit when they are very close to success.

Thnx guys, A is the right answer I am just wondering about the use of being.

In what type of sentences can being be used?

The word 'being' signifies state of existence. So use it at the place which suggests that meaning.

B C E are wrong because of business -> singular. Subject - "Cooperative apartment houses" is plural. So, We need plural.

D is wrong because "as dwellings" is essential to make a proper comparison. Without that "also" becomes redundant and the sentence becomes meaningless.

A conveys the intended meaning ! Although rarely used, the usage of "Being" is correct here.
