Gotta be (C), because of the usage of the word share.
You might "share an ethnic heritage with" someone, but you don't "share the same ethnic heritage as" someone.
Instead you'd have the same ethnic heritage as someone. Kind of a subtle point.
Another illustration:
Correct: Bob and I shared a pizza. OR, I shared a pizza with Bob.
Not correct: I shared the same pizza as Bob.

I got C.
Here's my logic
I got rid of D/E because they're logical contrastors (where as X, Y-- X/Y contrast logically)
A/B/C are ok
You don't share a heritage, you "have" one. I made a few sentences in my head.
C.
The 'do' can be implied in some SC's
ie
because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as Northeasterners
is the same as
because many residents of the Southeast do not share the same ethnic heritage as Northeasterners do
