I think the answer should be D, as strange as it seems, because there is a contradiction in the sentence... the polio vaccine is being given to everyone but only some benefit, whereas mass dietary change will impact a significant number of people.
Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T

Answer has to be between A and B
A - incorrect idiom --- the correct idiom is just as X , so Y ...
B - using 'like' but two clauses are being compared ... so we need 'as'...
So I'm not sure which one is it.

I pick D here because we have a contradiction here..
A is out because of incorrect idiom..
B -> can't use like, faulty comparison
c -> Unnecessarily changing non-essential modifier to essential one
E ->wrong placement of adverb 'actually'
OA please?

Yup.
Don't see a reason for 'C' to be correct.
