Unlike and Although

Unlike in the other states in the tri-state area, there are no gasoline taxes set by state or local authorities in New Jersey.
A. same
B. Unlike the other states in the tri-state area that have gasoline taxes set by state or local authorities, there are none
C. Although state or local authorities usually set gasoline taxes in the tri-state area, no such one has been set
D. Although state or local authorities usually set gasoline taxes in the tri-state area, no such tax has been set
E. Although there are usually set by state or local authorities in the tri-state area, no such taxes has been set

OA later.

I got confused between Although and Unlike.

Its D, but it has nothing to do with the differences between unlike and although.

When you see unlike you have to have parallelism. The sentences with unlike incorrectly attempts to compare states with gasoline taxes. That's an incorrect comparison.
