I chose E.
A - There should be a semicolon between those two thoughts.
B - The use of "for example" to connect these two thoughts is incorrect and awkward.
C - When presenting examples, "like" should not be used. "Such as" or "as" is a better choice.
D - This is in passive voice. The GMAT prefers active voice. "John loves chocolate" is better that "The chocolate is loved by John".
