E...
After "As" is a clause, and "it is to prevent" is parallel to "It is as difficult to prevent".
"Those" || "crimes".

(A) those that are against a

"Prevent crimes against property" are compared with "crimes against person"
(B) those against a

Sams as A
(C) it is against a

crimes is plural and hence incorrect pronoun
(D) preventing those against a

Lack of parallelism ..."prevent crimes" and "preventing those" are not parallel
(E) it is to prevent those against a

to prevent crimes against property as it is to prevent those against a person

Let's paraphrase the sentence:
To prevent crimes against property is as difficult as it is to prevent those (crimes) against a person.

IMO E

Wanted to revive this discussion,

The OA is A as per the source. IMO it was coming to be B.

Any suggestions?

It should be E
We need to compare two clauses here.
C would have been OK if we had compared nouns, unfortunately not the case in hand.
