The Hogwarts Post has blogged extensively on major figures in technology innovation --- These is the main point of the subject.
The speaker further substantiates his claim by mentioning examples/proof in support of his/her answer by mentioning names of
1. Steve Jobs
2. Jeff Bezos and
3. billion dollar ponzi schemes of various Wall Street con artists.
Why does the author mention names of these three people - To provide example , so Such as is preferred to Like...
Based on the above point all the options except (B) gets negated..
(A) on not only major figures in technology innovation like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, but also on
(B) not only on such
1. Use of Correct Idiom = Not Only ........ But Also
2. Use of Such as for introducing examples.
(C) not only on major figures in technology innovation like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, but also on
(D) on major figures in technology innovation like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, as well as
(E) on major figures in technology innovation like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, but also on
Hence IMHO (B) is the best answer..
PS :
Such as ----> Used to indicate examples.
Like : ----_> Used to indicate similarities.
