Comparing Cabbage and brussels sprouts. All options with "As" automatically are false, because as cannot be used to compare nouns. Reject B and E
{A} does and it is - refer to "brussels sprouts" which is plural - Hence Incorrect.
{C} Uses correct verb - do and correct plural pronoun - they but in the end - use of "as well as" disrupts the flow of the List, a simple "and" could have been better.
Hence

usage of 'and v/s 'as well as' Hi Aristocrat "and" is used to join two equal entity (in importance) "as well as" states something like "not only ... but also". Anything which follows "as well as" is considered less important than the one preceding it.

usage of 'and v/s 'as well as' One basic difference is that when "and" is used to connect two singular nouns, the combination is plural. Whereas that is not the case when "as well as" is used. eg: Frodo AND Sam ARE going to Mordor. Frodo, AS WELL AS Sam, IS going to Mordor. P:S : I'm watching the movie and hence the reference.

Like X,Y tests. Eliminate B and D as as is followed by a clause.In A , it is incorrect as subject is plural. Between C and E, when is used for time reference. So , E wins.

So "does" well is shown to be wrong by the very fact that "it" has become "they" I cannot find any reason for the usage to be wrong.. If you could explain why one might think it to be wrong... I could try my best to explaining the same..

The subject brussels sprouts is plural. Therefore, we need the verb 'do'. Eliminate (A) and (D). 'As well as...' is considered wordy. Eliminate (C). 'As' is used to compare verbs. Since we are comparing nouns, 'cabbage' and 'brussels', we need 'like.' Therefore, answer (E). Hope that helps!
