"It deals at least two key ideas or events", "It describes similarities and differences", and "It uses signal words an phrases such as similarly and on the other hand" are the characteristics of a comparison-and-contrast organizational sturcture.

Organizational structure of comparison and contrast is a type of structure for texts and other communication resources. These type of structure is characterized by:

Comparing at least two or more objects, situations, people, among others.
Focusing on highlighting the differences and similarities between two objects, people, events, among others.
Using an appropriate language to compare and contrast which includes connectors such as similarly or on the other hand o contribute to the understanding of the reader.

Additionally, answer C. is not a correct answer because the organizational structure of comparison and contrast does not have the characteristic of establishing a position in favor (or against) of one of the objects, people, events that compared.

So the correct answers are A, B, and D.
