Magoosh Official Explanation:
This is a tricky question, comparing one relationship to another relationship. I will go through the choices individually.
Choice (A) uses the idiomatically incorrect structure "Just as P, then Q". Furthermore, this choice purports to place in parallel "had a relationship to" to "were to", which does not work. This is incorrect.
Choice (B) uses the correct idiom for this situation: P is to Q as X is to Y. This is the idiom for comparing two relationships, and this choice follows this idiom perfectly.
Choice (C) uses a very informal, colloquial structure—"what P did for Q"—this would pass in American spoken English, but this is not an appropriate structure for the formal language of the GMAT. This is unacceptable.
Choice (D) is grammatically correct, and possibly logical correct, but very wordy and indirect. It uses the construction "how P related to Q was exactly how X was in relation to Y"—even if this does correctly communicate the idea, it is far too indirect and bloated. There is no way this would be correct on the GMAT.
Choice (E) uses the idiomatically incorrect structure "So as P, just so Q". Furthermore, the pronoun "it" does not have a clear, unambiguous antecedent. This one is incorrect.
The only possible answer is choice (B).
