OPTION A:- INCORRECT
It is not the action that is contrasting but the person so we need 'Like' as we are contrasting nation of this to of this to other So we need verb 'like'.
OPTION B:- INCORRECT
This option suffers same fate as option A above, the 'verb' like is required in the sentence but not present. This makes the option choice illegal.
OPTION C:- INCORRECT
'That' refers to southern means southern created something. This thereby eliminates this option and makes it incorrect.
OPTION D:- INCORRECT
This option suffers same reason as option C above.
Please not that dash (-) is being used in this option and other options too as dashes helps to connect a group of words to another group of words that is used to lay emphasis usually it is used in the middle of sentences. So 'that' following is not proper as it suggest repetition or 'tautology'.
OPTION E :- CORRECT
The gerund, 'creating gives answer of how or result in this, ing works as result. geographical division resulting in creation... which make sense.
