Not sure, if this SC was already discussed in the forum; I searched for it but did'nt get the link and hence posting it here ..

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

a greater proportion than it was
a greater proportion than
a greater proportion than they have been
which is greater than was so
which is greater than it has been

Friends, pl help with explanations

My answer is B.

Between B and C, it is implied that Soaring television costs are a greater proportion than <such costs> in any previous election.

So, there is no need to mention "than they have been" in any previous election.

I am confused between B and C.

I came across this question in sets and the OA is C

Kindly clarify

I think it is B

C has elipsis.

Any other explanation?
