Hi I posted an answer for this .But I am not sure about the reason I chose for cancelling option D i.e unlike shouldn't be followed by a phrase .
Can someone see if my explanation is correct.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Not entirely correct - a phrase CAN follow "unlike":
"Like" (/"unlike") is a preposition and hence only a noun or a noun phrase can follow "like" (/"unlike").
A prepositional phrase however cannot follow another preposition. Hence "unlike in most Grinder species....." is incorrect.

Hi,
Lets's start with the meaning of the sentence .
The speckled Red grinder (a particular species of the Red Grinder)is compared with other Red Grinder species.
This particular species is different from the other species because in this species it is hard to distinguish b/w male and female.
A has an comparison error. Species must be compared to species not to male and female of a species.
B again has an comparison error.
C those is plural and seems to refer to male and female .
Unlike male and female in X , the male and female Y are very difficult to distinguish.
In is missing before Y. not parallel.
Also unlike must be followed by noun not a phrase. hence it's wrong----can someone confirm this
D. again unlike in is a phrase.
E. is the correct answer
Comparison between species is correct.
