Correct option D

Original Sentence: As Parliament is the legislative government body of Great Britain,
the Assemblée Nationale is the legislative government body of France.

Eliminate A, and B: "as" is used as a conjunction, joining two clauses or giving any example,
here both the sentence does not show any intended meaning, though Option A is attractive
A) As Parliament is the legislative government body of Great Britain,
B) As the legislative government body of Great Britain is Parliament,

Eliminate C, wrong usage of "like" it does not show any similarity, and
usage of (,which) for non-essential information, de-means the intended meaning of the sentence.
C) Just like the legislative government body of Great Britain, which is Parliament,

Option D clear the intended meaning,
- "Parliament" of Great Britain, is compared with "the Assemblée Nationale" of France
- Just as X, So (too) Y
- Maintains parallelism
D) Just as Parliament is the legislative government body of Great Britain,
so the Assemblée Nationale is the legislative government body of France.

Option E, makes some complication, - Wrong
- 1st by trying to proof 1st Govt of Britain's legislative branch is "Praliament"
- 2nd creating parallelism error
- Compares "the governement" with "the Assemblee Nationale"
E) Just as the government of Britain’s legislative branch is Parliament.
