Unlike X, Y, where X and Y MUST be parallel. --> A is out.
Besides X, Y is also needed.--> Means Both X abd Y are needed. --> Eliminate B.
Not like water, passenger---Water Vs Passenger ---Eliminate D.
With water being the only exception.....Awkward and being is not correct. With X, Y--> Means Y has X. So, eliminate E.
Answer: C

I tried answering this question by removing the (complimentary) modifier.
Option A: Unlike water, all passengers will need to pay cash ... to me it sounds like water is incorrectly implied as a passenger here instead of a drink.
Option B: Besides water, all passengers will need to pay cash ... Same problem as above, sounds like water is implied as an exceptional passenger instead of a drink.
Option C: Sounds perfect!
Option D: Not like water is the same as unlike water, which brings us back to the exact same construction and error as in A.
Option E: With water being the only exception, all passengers will need to pay cash.. same issue as in A, B, and D. Sounds to me like water is an exceptional passenger and not an exceptional drink.
