Vyshak’s idiomatic route is quite impressive. A longer analysis would be:
A) had the same relationship to many of the younger members of the Continental Congress, like Jefferson and Hancock, just like the relationship Niels Bohr had with--- 'like Jefferson and Hancock' – is wrong because the two people are just examples of the younger members. As such, we must use the term 'such as' rather than 'like'.
B) having a relationship to many of the younger members of the Continental Congress, such as Jefferson and Hancock, the same as the relationship Niels Bohr had with – a fragment. No verb for the main clause.
C) was to many of the younger members of the Continental Congress, such as Jefferson and Hancock, what Niels Bohr was to -- the best
D) was to many of the younger members of the Continental Congress, like Jefferson and Hancock, just the same as Niels Bohr was to --- same error is in A
E) had the same relationship to many of the younger members of the Continental Congress, such as Jefferson and Hancock, Niels Bohr having it to –
It is not clear what or whom the modifier ‘Niels Bohr having it to” is trying to modify.
