I believe A should be the answer.

We are comparing nouns so we need to use like.
Just like does not add anything to the comparison done here so in my opinion Like is more concise usage.

IMO A.

B,C, and D are instant eliminations.

Like - after 'LIKE', noun/pronoun is used.
As - As 'AS', a clause(subject+verb) is used.

Therefore E is not right.
Thanks.
