But it should not b problem....In option C we are not comparing the nouns.....rather we are comparing two clauses....As we are using "As"..

OA A

A is very correct

See here the first comma with "while clearly less accessible to outsiders" is used to describe medieval monasteries
and

an comparison is given by , like modem libraries.

so it has to be A ....

There are many cases when we put the non-essential part of the sentence within commas

So in the below sentence the non-essential part of the sentence is " like modern libraries", so "while clearly less accessible to outsiders," should still modify the medieval monasteries and not modern libraries

Early medieval monasteries,like modern libraries,while clearly less accessible to outsiders, often served as repositories for texts

so in my opinion option D is also a strong contender for the right answer.

Please let me know if you all disagree !
