bad among the worst ..is C .. All choice seems incorrect because of "apple to orange comparision".. Just as with many successful authors, in C intented to mean that the fate of Salman Rushdie’s first novel is like that of other authors ( in terms of abject failure ) .. This might looks weired explnation ...but in my limited capacity I am able to do only this .. Verbal gurus , pls help ..

Assuming authors as author's
Going for 3-2 split between idiom about and on
E looks OK. Since like should be used to compare noun and 'As' should be used to compare verb.
