(A) Unlike most warbler species, the male and female blue-winged warbler are very difficult to tell apart. ---- Apple to Apple comparison i.e most warbler species is being compared with the male and female blue-winged warbler
(B) Unlike most warbler species, the gender of the blue-winged warbler is very difficult to distinguish. ---- wrong comparison
(C) Unlike those in most warbler species, the male and female blue-winged warblers are very difficult to distinguish. ----- wrong comparison
(D) It is very difficult, unlike in most warbler species, to tell the male and female blue-winged warbler apart. ----- unnecessary fragmentation
(E) Blue-winged warblers are unlike most species of warbler in that it is very difficult to tell the male and female apart ----- awkward

Hah! Honestly I'd have chosen C or E, because the others aren't even comparisons. You can't compare gender to species, or male and female birds to a whole species.

Option C looks best among the given choices. In option A and option B -- whole Species is incorrectly compared with male and female and Gender respectively.

D and E look awkward. only choice left is c. I am still not 100% sure though.
