Quote:
A. Wrong. Examples are listed using "such as". Usage of "like" for this purpose is unidiomatic.
B. Wrong. Same error as in option A. Also, this option is wordy.
C. Wrong. "separating" is modifying "householder", thus changing the intending meaning on the sentence. Now the sentence suggests that ordinance is intended for householders that separate wastes as mentioned. However, this option rectifies the "like" error as in previous options.
D. Wrong. This option is wordy, just like option B.
C. Correct. This option is concise and uses the correct idiom "such as" to list examples.

If you see a comparison that involves "like" / "as" you get the most bang for your bucket immediately checking the splits that differentiate beween like and as. 
Now, like does not make so much sense here, this construction is basically a perfect example when to NOT use like. When listing examples and before phrases you use [such] as in general.
Immediately narrowed down to three answer choices .. from there, (C) sounds totally wrong "the ordinance is intended to force seperating ..." no bueno!
D) is essentially the worse version of E), more wordy and redundant. I always ask myself if the words added make a difference or not to decide between such splits, but clearly it does not make sense to write D) in such a complicated way compared to E).
E) is the winner-winner chicken dinner
