This question test our knowledge on comparison. Specifically on usage of As vs. Like. Fundamentally, we use 'like' to compare nouns and we use 'as' to compare clauses.
In a given case, we need a comparison between nouns - Mary vs. other students. Consequently, Option C is the best option.
Mary, just as did the other students, objected to the squash casserole.
A. Mary, just as did the other students, objected to --> Though this option sounds correct I find it wrong. I prefer noun vs. noun comparison in a given case. Hence, I am not opting for this option.
B. Like the other students, Mary was objectionable to --> Changes the meaning. Mary was not objectionable per original sentence. This option means Mary was objectionable and so are the other students.
C. Mary, like the other students, objected to --> Correct
D. Mary objected, in the manner of the other students, to --> 'in the same manner of the other students' is absolutely wrong. For comparison, we need 'as or like'. Usage of 'of' is just wrong.
E. Mary, as the other students, objected --> use of 'as' to compare 'nouns' is grammatically wrong. Hence, this option is incorrect.

What do we compare here?
Objection of mary with other students
or
Mary with other students
In first case we can't use like. Also we probably are not comparing Mary with other students.
So I think E is correct choice. Views!!
