But this is a real life scenario. Then shouldn't it be like and not as?

Like: Compare nouns
As: Compare verbs
In this question "Like" should be the correct answer. Eg: Cats like dogs sometimes play fetch.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

As has been used as it presents the role or the function of internet - direct media channel to customers for the sponsors.

Hope it helps !

'Like' is used to compare X to Y(noun). whereas 'as' is used to draw a comparison between verbs or clauses. Here the second half defines the clause and hence C is the correct answer.
