E because it correctly uses 'similar to that of artificial vision' for comparison and parallelism AND 'but one that has proved easier to solve' - that correctly refers to the properly of perception.[/spoiler]

In answer E, "one" refers to "that of artifical vision", doesn't it?

No, I think you are getting confused between the comparison between X and Y.

idiom 'proved to' is correct.

Eliminate A and D

B is wrong because of the wrong comparison. You are comparing 'a problem' with 'artificial vision'.

C is unclear about the subject of the clause after 'but'. Eliminate

E is correct.

Good question. What is the source?

reply2spg, your answer is quite easy to understand. A friend, who is attending a private tutoring class, shared this with me. I'll post more in the coming time. Thanks all for your supports.
