I will go for B
usage of had (past perfect) is wrong: so A and D are out.
E makes it sound like Abu was born while experimenting.
C is incorrect because of the usage of and who.

Was thinking between B and D
I'll go for B. Here are my explanations.
B is correct and straight to the point + parallel in the sentence structure ("...for modern optics and for..."
A & E: "Being" are generally considered as wordy and redundant in GMAT (discovered this after doing loads of Qs in OG, Official Review, etc.)
C: "thereby laid the foundation" is wrong. Should be "laying"
D: "... was born in Iraq": adds ambiguity to the sentence. It may mean that the similarities are the location + year these ppl were born, which is not the original meaning of the sentence. Original meaning --> similarity is that science should be based on experiments and philosophy.
My 2-cents worth.
