Cognitive scientists argue that the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror—an ability limited to humans, apes, and perhaps to dolphins as well—is an indication of self-awareness.

An indicator for is subjected to indicate towards someone who is receiving the information.
For ex-
The current war going at border is an indicator for central government to take some kind of action.
Here a body is receiving that information.
Here in question, the self awareness cognitive skills is not an information directed towards living beings but rather a general statement.
Such as
"An ability of doing X is an indication of Y"
Hence, we can eliminate C, D, And E.
"And" and "as well as" in same sentence is wordy and irrelevant.
B is short, concise, and grammatically correct.

A. the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror—an ability limited to humans, apes, and perhaps to dolphins as well—is an indication of : Here it should be "dolphin" instead of "to dolphin" . Also using "and " and "as well" is redundant. Eliminate A
B. the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror—an ability limited to humans, apes, and perhaps dolphins—is an indication of : Correct
C. the ability to recognize themselves in a mirror—an ability limited to humans, apes, and perhaps to dolphins as well—is an indication for : " Indication of " is the correct idiom in this context. Also all the same errors in A are repeated. Using "themselves" here is not correct as it may refer to "Cognitive scientists" also. Eliminate C
D. recognizing oneself in a mirror, as do humans, apes, and perhaps dolphins as well, is an indicator for : " Indication of " is the correct idiom in this context. And and as well is redundant. Eliminate D
E. recognition of oneself in a mirror—an ability limited to humans, apes, and dolphins perhaps—is used as an indicator for " Indication of " is the correct idiom in this context. Eliminate E
