Thanks!

You can actually reach the correct answer here without even distinguishing between the 'like' and the 'such as'
Options A, B, and D use the phrase 'drinking milk', which besides being non-parallel, is grammatically wrong.
Between C and E, E loses it for using 'its' -> what does 'its' refer to here? It can only be referring to the human body (as the previous 'its' does), but the human body can't be using its own protein derived from eggs, soy, and milk!
Therefore C is the best choice here.
