AFAIK, Like should not be used to give examples is a hard rule.
Also, I eliminated B on the basis of - Just like is followed by a clause - where the rule I know states that "like" should be used for comparison but should always be followed by a noun, as opposed to "usage of as", in which "as" must be followed by a clause unless the sentence is talking about assuming a role.

E.g.
I took care of the kid as an elder brother.
Unlike Apples, Oranges have more Vitamin C.

Hello glagad,

We hope this finds you well.

Just to provide a bit of clarity here, the rule is that “like” is used for comparing nouns, “as” is used for comparing actions/clauses, and “such as” is used for giving examples.

To understand the concept of "Like" vs "As", you may want to watch the following video (~2 minutes):



All the best!
