Step 1: We try to understand the meaning

>> It is similar to Hampi in in Vijayanagar Empire
Step 2: We spot differences is Options

"Like" is used to indicate similarity
"Such as" is used to indicate examples
So using above logic, we can remove A & E
Option B -- "Incan Tambomachy" is compared with constructed canals & aqueducts
Option C -- same as B but has verbs "was"
Both options compare incorrectly
Option D -- "Tambomachay site" and archelogy site -- correct comparision. So option D.
