the spiders and the angiope

Such orb-weaving spiders like the argiope build webs in an essentially wheel-like structure, with an outer rim and a number of spokes emanating from the hub.
A. Such orb weaving spiders like the argiope build webs in an essentially wheel-like structure
B. Such orb weaving spiders as the argiope builds webs with what is essentially a wheel-like structure
C. The argiope spider, in the same way as other orb weaving spiders, build webs in a structure that is essentially wheel-like
D. Orb weaving spiders such as the argiope build webs that are essentially wheel-like
E. Like other orb weaving spiders do, the argiope builds webs as essentially wheel-like

p.s: by the way, what is an angiope?

Giving examples so LIKE not appropriate, use SUCH AS; Drop A
E - LIKE used with a clause (OTHER..SPIDERS DO); drop
B - subject verb mismatch (SPIDERS....BUILDS); BUILD should hv been used
C - subject verb mismatch (SPIDER....BUILD); BUILDS should hv been used

IMO D

A. Such orb weaving spiders like the argiope build webs in an essentially wheel-like structure (should be "such as")
B. Such orb weaving spiders as the argiope builds webs with what is essentially a wheel-like structure (S-V agreement)
C. The argiope spider, in the same way as other orb weaving spiders, build webs in a structure that is essentially wheel-like (S-V agreement)
D. Orb weaving spiders such as the argiope build webs that are essentially wheel-like (good)
E. Like other orb weaving spiders do, the argiope builds webs as essentially wheel-like (should be "as")
