Answer 1

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because it makes use of the word "like" when providing an example instead of the word "as".

Option B is wrong because of the wrong use of "with" in the sentence.

Option C corrects the "like" with the "as", however you cannot say "build webs", hence there is a subject verb agreement. You use "builds webs" instead.

Option E is also wrong because of the use of "as" after the webs. This is totally wrong.

The only option with no error is option D.
