Would go with A
Like many GMAT test takers, John Doe believed in success, not so much because of his innate skills as because of his self-discipline.
"Like" compares GMAT test takers with John
so much ...as ...is idiomatic
"his" has got a clear antecedent "John".

I choose A.
C and D are eliminated because like should be used instead of as. "Like" is used to compare John with test takers. Then eliminate B and E because the idiom not so much as is used.
