Imo C

IMO C
Like - indicates similar not the exact same
As - indicates exact same ,

Also As cannot introduce a clause , not never a phrase

"Like noun1, noun2 is X" OR "noun2, like noun1, is X"

Imho C.

We use 'as' for comparing non-noun subject (for example two clauses, two events, two action). That leaves us with C and D.
Like is used for comparing two nouns.
