Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, what ? We can narrow down to B and E.

A/C/D - modifier error
B - 'their' in the non underlined part and 'the cheetah species' do not agree in number.

IMO E.

IMO E, modifier error in every other option.

Sam explained for A,C,D. Even B does not agree as species cannot be like clone
