Between A and B, I`ll go with A because of the correct comparison "as" for similiar actions. C, D, and E are out for the wrong modifier.

My answer is A
"Besides adding complentary flavors to many foods" is supposed to modify hot sauces, so D and E is out.
B- "they" is ambiguous, is it modifying hot sauces or endorphins?
C- same problem

A as well.
hot sauces must be the S of the previous modifier.
D, E out.
C changes the meaning
Between A and B, A is grammartical.

Another one for A.
Hot sauces should modify "Besides adding complementary flavors to many foods" so C, D, and E are eliminated.
In B, "they" doesn't clearly refer to anything.

Also A.
D and E are out since the modifier must be followed by hot sauces, C is also wrong because it adds exercise to the equation and between A and B I cautiously vote for A, because of the as to compare actions.

The subject of "adding ...." must be "hot sauces" --> A and B stand.
A is better coz we need " norphine's " to indicate it's morphine's effect is comparable to "relieving effect"
A it is.
so many buddies of mine joined in this post ...this conjures up in me those memorable days

It should be A.
- Second clause should start with "hot sauces", which is the subject of "adding".
- "as" should be used to compare actions.

Agree, it's (A).
(B) would have to use "does" after exercise and it also uses wrong comparison "pain relieving effect" vs. "morphine"

C,D and E are out because of misplaced modifiers.
Between A and B, I choose A.

Go with A too..
B --> incorrect because it should be "like exercise does
C --> Sound as if exercises also add flavor to the foods 
D and E --> sentence after comma starts with "endorphines" whereas it should start with "hot sauces".

OA is A. But, as per Manhattan SC, "these" has to be accompanied always by a noun (these dogs, these carrots...), and never alone. Could anybody clarify the correct usage of "these" alone in this sentence? Thanks,

In choice A, the word "these" is a pronoun. When "these" functions as an adjective, there should be a noun after "these" or "this".
