Correct Answer:
similar
similar
option A similar is the right answer here,
option B and C are already eliminated from the context given they are irrelevant
now option A similar and D alike means the same the only difference is in their usage
we can not use alike before a noun it is used after a verb and not before a noun eg; great minds think alike.
similar can be used before a noun as well, so before gathering we will use similar.
