(A) Like the present, the past is constantly revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of them - INCORRECT
- This means that the present is constantly revised? that does not make any sense
- what does 'them' refer to? written records or alterations? logically: written records
(B) Just as the present is changing, so too is the past constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records - INCORRECT
- Just as X, so Y -> X and Y must be parallel. X here is 'the present', which is a noun and Y is 'is the past', 'is' a verb - breaks parallelism
- 'so too' is an incorrect idiomatic usage. Correct idiom would be: "Just as X, Y" or "Just as X, so Y" - not a 100% sure about this, would prefer if one of the experts could confirm
(C) Just like the constantly changing present, the past is being revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of those records- INCORRECT
- Parallelism error: 'constantly changing' is not parallel to 'the past'
(D) As the present changes, the past is constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records- INCORRECT
- Meaning changed: Intended meaning was to draw a comparison between the past and the present but (D) means that two actions are taking place at the same time
(E) Just as the present is constantly changing, the past is constantly being revised as a result of alterations to and reinterpretations of written records - CORRECT
- Parallelism intact
-Meaning is as intended - comparison is not destroyed(as in D)

It should be "Just as the present is changing, the present, ..."
Wrong answer
(C) Just like the constantly changing present, the past is being revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of those records
This is the correct answer, Like is used with a noun "the constantly changing present", the usage of being is correct, as it is used as a passive continuous verb tens to communicate the meaning, and the alterations of written records and reinterpretation of thoose records is very clear, Correct answer
(D) As the present changes, the past is constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records
normally the point is that the past is revised due to alterations of written records, and reinterpretations of the records altered not of the initial written records, Wrong answer

Like the present, the past is constantly revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of them.
(A) Like the present, the past is constantly revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of them
Incorrect! With the phrase [Like the present, the past is constantly revised], the meaning becomes awkward as if the author is trying to say that the present is constantly changing.
(B) Just as the present is changing, so too is the past constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records
Seems legit!! [Contender]
(C) Just like the constantly changing present, the past is being revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of those records
Incorrect! The use of pronoun [those] makes it a little awkward and wordy.
(D) As the present changes, the past is constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records
Incorrect! Here the use of simple present tense [As the present changes] makes it the meaning bizarre. We need a present continuous tense.
(E) Just as the present is constantly changing, the past is constantly being revised as a result of alterations to and reinterpretations of written records
Incorrect! [Just as the present is constantly changing]- Here the problem is the use of word constantly. We can simply say [Just as the present is constantly changing] .The correct answer should be crisp, clear, precise and to the point.
IMO Option B

(A) Like the present, the past is constantly revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of them
--> 'Like' does not provide a reference that it is constantly changing
(B) Just as the present is changing, so too is the past constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records
--> Also 'alterations and reinterpretations of written records' is incorrect
(C) Just like the constantly changing present, the past is being revised as a result of alterations to written records and reinterpretations of those records
--> 'being revised' does not have an associated frequency (constantly) hence is not parallel. Incorrect
(D) As the present changes, the past is constantly revised due to alterations and reinterpretations of written records
--> Meaning change. Also 'alterations and reinterpretations of written records' is incorrect
(E) Just as the present is constantly changing, the past is constantly being revised as a result of alterations to and reinterpretations of written records
--> 'being revised' is not the correct tense in this manner. Incorrect
IMHO Option A
