Turtles,
as with other reptiles, can endure long fasts because they can survive on weekly or even monthly feedings; however, when food is readily available, they may eat frequently and grow very fat.
A as with other reptiles
Wrong. As + clause, Not noun phrase.
B as other reptiles are
able toWrong. "able to what?"
C as other reptiles do
Wrong. Attractive but wrong. You are comparing turtles and other reptiles, so the structure "like X, Y do....." is enough. In addition, "
do" and "
can endure" are not parallel.
D like other reptiles
Correct. E like other reptiles are able to do
Wrong. Like + noun/noun phrase, not clause.
