E.

Resource is a countable noun. This means that you cannot use "amount" and must add "number of". Eliminate A, B ,D. C is wrong because it should be "as" instead of like due to the verb "are".

Why do u say resource is a countable noun? I thought based on the context, resource could be anything.

For Example : The computer program should be designed to use only a small amount of resources available.

The computer program should be designed to use only a limited number of resources available.

Number and amount seem to convey different meanings here. Dont you think?

I chose D because we dont know what resources are referred to here.

What did I miss?
