I thought C and then checked spoiler Problem with B - First , there is no need for Who Second , there should be a comma before "Who"

With choice C, shouldn't it be like .... so does a ...
I picked B because C was lacking the "does" but I'm guessing does can be abbreviated in this instance?
Can someone please clarify?
Thanks,
Diana

How about D? I thought "Like" is used to describe a noun.

Please check the word "evaluates" in D, changes the meaning intended.

I also can go to C
E is gramatical and logic but, compared to C, it is not so parallel. Meaning in C is better.
I doubt this is from gmatprep. gmatprep sc never ask us to find a reason to eliminate E.
pls, post the screenshot of this question.
