Here is my understanding below:
Option A: IDIOM error - not just -- BUT is missing; PRONOUN error - "it" ; COMPARISONS : Okay, first option seems to convey that 'the president of priest' is the one who has achieved enlightenment and hence it's wrong.
However the CORRECT ANSWER is mentioned D.
I Cannot identify how B,C And E are wrong on account of COMPARISON PROCESS?
Lets pick B:
I see that in start of the clause : "term" is missing. Is this the only reason this option will be wrong? Hiowever in correct answer D itself there is no use of 'term'.
Similarily, I cannot account for why C AND E are incorrect.
Help is much appreciated

Not an expert but I got this one correct. If you could understand the meaning of the sentence it will be really easy to choose option D.
so let me try:
B - Just like president or priest, the word 'buddha' denotes not just the historical figure Siddhartha Gautama, but a type of person, one who has achieved enligtenment.
The sentence incorrectly suggests that the word President or Priest just like Buddha is not just a historical figure, but a type of person...........
C - The word 'Buddha', similar to the words 'president' or 'priest', denotes not just the historical figure Siddhartha Gautama, but an entire class of people, those who have achieved enlightenment
If you understood the explanation for B you can identify the problem with option C. It makes a similar error.
E - Like the word 'president' or the word 'priest', the word 'Buddha' does not just refer to the historical figure Siddhartha Gautama, but rather to a class of persons, who have achieved enlightenment
Among other things option E makes the same mistake. Option E has other problems such as - "class of persons" should be a "class of person"
D - The word 'Buddha' denotes not just the historical figure, Siddhartha Gautama, but, like 'president' or 'priest', refers to a type of person, - in this case, one who has achieved enlightenment.
Correct - Uses correct modifiers and comparisons. clearly states the intended meaning.

B, C and E are wrong because they distort the meaning of the original sentence. They mean that Buddha is similar to president or priest.A - 'As above'
B - Just like president or priest, the word 'buddha' denotes not just the historical figure Siddhartha Gautama, but a type of person, one who has achieved enligtenment.
