(B) in the same manner that they would use with
(C) like they would handle
(D) as they discipline
(E) as they would

E sounds the best - the verb form should be in subjunctive mood.

At second it doesnt add on to the meaning that they necessarily have daughters.

this is a case of ellipsis I guess. [ we really don't need a second 'discipline' in the later part of the sentence. ]

I am not sure about this though. On exam day I would have gone by my instinct and would have chosen E
