Since like is used to make comparisons and such as is used to list out specific examples of something. In this case such as should be used. This eliminates B,D and E
Aquatics is a category whereas diving, swimming are disciplines, C option just reversed the meaning, so can eliminate C
IMO A

Official Explanation
Aquatics, a Summer Olympic sports category, includes disciplines such as diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo.
A. Aquatics, a Summer Olympic sports category, includes disciplines such as diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo
This answer choice correctly uses such as (and not like) to introduce the examples diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo.
B. The Summer Olympic sports category aquatics includes disciplines like diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo
This answer choice is grammatically correct but stylistically flawed. When introducing examples, the word like should be replaced by the more appropriate such as.
C. Disciplines such as diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are all included in the Summer Olympic sports category of aquatics.
Although this answer choice correctly uses such as to introduce examples, it is still stylistically flawed. Changing the sentence from active to passive and the addition of unnecessary words such as all and of create redundancy.
- Active (more concise): Aquatics includes disciplines.
Passive (less concise): Disciplines are included in aquatics.
D. Summer Olympic sports categories like diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatic disciplines
This answer choice is grammatically correct but stylistically flawed. When introducing examples, the word like should be replaced by the more appropriate such as.
E. Aquatics, the Summer Olympic sports category, includes disciplines like diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo
This answer choice is grammatically correct but stylistically flawed. When introducing examples, the word like should be replaced by the more appropriate such as.
