IMO C.
The sentence asks for a comparison, 'Like the mousetrapper'... so need 'pagejacker' hence options A, B and E are out.
D is wrong because of non-parallel structure. Option C is concise and free of grammatical errors and hence the correct answer.

Kaplan official explanation:
This question is comparing the "mousetrapper" (a noun) to something else. The original sentence compares this type of Internet entity to "pagejacking" (a verb). When two things are compared, they must be parallel. So the underlined portion of the sentence must begin with another noun. A grammatically correct sentence should be comparing "the mousetrapper" to "thepagejacker." The correct choice must begin with "the pagejacker," so we can eliminate all but (C). Though (D) and (E) begin with nouns, (D) leaves out the article, and (E) leaves the comparison between the "mousetrapper" and "the user."
