Here both C and D are correct, although the answer would be D.

For the convenience we can write the answers as follows:

The guiding principles (of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department) could have even greater significance (for the economy) than have the particulars of the plan.

The guiding principles (of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department) could have even greater significance (for the economy) than do the particulars of the plan.

In the second sentence have is replaced with do. So, it is little more precise than the C and hence the answer.

can anyone explain what is wrong with A?
The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods

Can someone confirm the above explanation pls? I was debating between C & D. Is use of 'than have' not appropriate or is it correct?

"even" modifies greater and "a" is awkward.

'A' compares economy to particulars of the plan
