Idiom*
“Contrary to” is used for elucidating something that is actually correct but is perceived differently by others. It is not used to compare two similar or different things but to simply state a fact that is contrary to the belief. For example: Contrary to the teacher’s perception, Jack is a bright child.
Hence, A is the perfect choice for the case at hand.
“Unlike” or “In contrast with” are used for showing difference between two similar things. Hence, B and D are wrong.
C and E are silly.
Hence, A is the best choice.
