when we first observe the options we notice the undelined part has which vs whose vs with- we can see its probably a modifier error.
(which and whose are relative pronouns)
we need a relative pronoun that refers to "the remains" therefore which is correct
we are down to A/B/C
the sentence starts with "unlike" therefore the sentence is testing comparison
we can compare remains with other remains therefore C is the correct option

Ⓐ which were found alone in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Ramesses the Great’s remains were in a royal cache
Unlike calls for noun to noun comparison, Tutankhamun's remains with Ramesses remains -> this comparison is fine in A
Which -> modifies remains -> looks fine. remains were found in a tomb -> good too
Ramesses the great's remains -> the great is used to modify Ramesses, but here its possessive form modifies remains which is not needed
Ⓑ which were found alone in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, in the case of Ramesses the Great, remains were in a royal cache
Unlike calls for noun to noun comparison, Tutankhamun's remains with 'in the case of Ramesses' -> this is not correct
Ⓒ which were found alone in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the remains of Ramesses the Great were in a royal cache
Unlike correctly compares Tutankhamun's remains with Ramesses remains
placement of remains corrects the modifier issue for 'the great' to correctly modify Ramesses..keep the answer!
Ⓓ whose tomb was found alone in the Valley of the Kings, Ramesses the Great was in a royal cache
whose refers to remains' tomb - incorrect
Ⓔ with their tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the royal cache of Ramesses the Great’s remains were
Tutankhamun's remains with their tomb... it suggests remains have tomb -> incorrect
unlike comparison is between remains with royal cache - which is also incorrect
C is the answer!
