This comes down to meaning. Pearls don't "jump" so we can't use the phrase "as do", since they don't!
C, D, and E are out for this reason. The only difference between A and B is the "like" versus "as". Since we've removed the verb "do", we cannot use "as". We'd need a verb with "as", such as "as pearls move."
IMO: B

Was mixed between A and B.
one another/each other is the right idiom so C D E are out. Nice explanation by Vivian with the meaning in this sentence.

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
