The intended meaning is to compare between two cases, not to show similarity, equality or simultaneous events.
That's why "whereas" can only fit. A

Just as/even as/Much - wrong linkage between the two comparisons. Only (A) whereas makes correct comparison in line with the intended meaning

Intended meaning : The sentence presents a contrast between "an answer" and "a solution". It says an answer gives only response but a solution is the correct response.

(a) whereas an answer provides a - clearly points out the intended meaning and the contrast. Correct
(b) just as an answer provides a - intended meaning is lost
(c) Even as an answer provides a - the meaning is lost the sentence now means answer and solution do the same thing.
(d) as much as an answer provides a - same meaning error - solution provides response as much as answer provides.
(e) much as an answer provides a - same error as d
