I think E should be the correct answer here.

B and C are easy eliminate as we don't use "like" to give example.
A is like 2 different sentences and Its not clear what does this thing refer to....such as tooth and bone not normally found what is not normally found tooth and bone or cancer. There is no connection.

This leaves us with D and E.
E used absolute phrase and has clear meaning than D.

E is the correct answer but there is a typo in E its missing as.

Yes, E is the correct answer. My problem was the same. where is 'as'?
