IMO E

Both parts of the sentence should have the same structure, begining with "Those of", so that leads to answer D or E.

Then again, in the two description we should have the same verbal structure, so answer E is the best choice to me...

Do u agree?

I think B, if it is "wieghs" and not "wieghts"

C, D use those of , here species is compared not the bats themselves.
