Only SIMILAR THINGS may be compared.

A: Unlike the terms...all former two-term U.S. Presidents
B: Besides the terms...all former two-term U.S. Presidents
D: Aside from the terms...all former two-term U.S. Presidents
E: Other than the separated terms...all former two-term U.S. Presidents
In these options, TERMS are illogically compared to PRESIDENTS.
Eliminate A, B, D and E.

The correct answer is C.
