IMO D

"are/were able to" Vs "Can/Could" - Can is preferred as both imply the same meaning but Can is more concise and correct.

So A, B, E not the answers.

D is correct because it compares Noun to Noun. So usage of "like" is correct.

If you are stuck between Can and Could then the presence of Can or Could does not matter as we are concerned about "AS/LIKE".
We can also say as the sentence in Past tense Could will be used.
