A. Modelled....like = wrong idiom
B. Modelled...after = correct idiom. We can keep it.
C. Modelled....like = wrong idiom
D. Face....after his mother = wrong
E. Face .....like his mother = to be correct....shd be....something like....Face....like that of his mother....

So by POE = "B".

Thanks
Mohit
