a) Like so many of Hery James's characters
b) Similar to Henry James
c) Like so much of Henry James
d) Similar with Henry James's characters
e) Like so many of Henry James
let's beat GMAT.

One more vote for A

Your comparing Henry Jame's characters with Forster's heroes.

So B, C, E are out for faulty comparison.

D the correct idiom should be similar to and not similar with.

So option A is correct.
