ya, I had checked that one out - but still could not understand whether as likely as is more preferred over more likely than?

C is the correct answer. "to" should immediately follow "more likely". the correct idiom IMO is "more likely to .....than..."

here is how I came to C - you are comparing X is more likely than Y to do something. However, the "do something "part in A and B is not there.

Hence C
