After you have narrowed down to C n D, the meaning of the original sentence can help you in eliminating D.
The original conveys that Ainu and Caucasian are the same.
D does not convey that. Usage of 'as' is not correct.

"unlike" is used to compare nouns that are logically comparable. in the original sentence, "the Asian people" have been compared with "the first settlement" which is illogical. For the similar reasons we can eliminate Options A, B & E. Both options C & D now has a comparable noun "the Ainu"
In option D, however, "as Caucasians" distorts the meaning of the sentence. This now implies that "the Ainu" now assuming the role of "Caucasians" established the settlements which is incorrect.
Hence Option C
