according to manhuttan sc -
like should be used to compare people or things (any nouns)
as should be used in a comparison involving clauses.

the sentence above doesnot compare "computers" with "people" but it compares " the ability of computers to think" (which can be similar to) with " the ability of people to think".
hence we have to use "as" here.

so eliminate A,D n E.

in B, the last part - as people is incomplete.

C, correctly, completes the sentence - as people can (think - redundant).

hence IMO C.

Thanks!

D is correct

able, capable is used to say of person's ability not possibility, so there is only c, d left

c is wrong because the recovery from ellipsis is " people can be programmed" is wrong.
