Like vs. As
1) Like : use like when you want to focus on two nouns
2) As : use as when you want to focus on two nouns doing two action.
(in general a clause)
Idiom : Just as ~, so ~
C) "so" is missed in the second sentence.
D) although the idiom was correctly used, but it compares "the scandinavians" to the Italian's disregard" ---> wrong

How it is E?
With noun phrases it consists of infinitives too so its a clause. And in D both parts are meaning same. So I think D is the right answer.
I may be wrong. Please explain me with reasons.
