'the market' is the subject here. so, according to subject-verb agreement rule verb should be 'remains'. thus, discard A and D at first.

The market for recycled commodities like aluminum and other metals remain strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.

A. commodities like aluminum and other metals remain (SVA- problem)
B. commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are remaining---> 'those of' is unnecessary and creates a meaning problem
C. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains---> BEST
D. commodities, such as aluminum and other metals, remain(SVA- problem)

E. commodities, like the commodities of aluminum and other metals, remains----> a comma before 'like' is not necessary. besides, 'the commodities of' makes the sentence noisy

IMO C

[effective_factor]

C without a doubt

it was an easy one.
C

[mission800]

sure it was an easy one, i said C too, but Official Answer ---> E
any thoughts ?

[mission800]

could it be that "commodities of aluminium and other metals" is valid over "commodities such as alumunium and other metals"

could it be that aluminium and other metals are not commodities ? but commodities made out of them are (commodities)?
