More concrete and glass structures were constructed in the decade of the 1960's than any other period.


A.) than any other period
B.) than in any other
C.) as any other
D.) than another period
E.) than in any other period

my doubt: i want to understand that in option B if ellipses is considered then won't ellipses create a wrong sense as : than in any other [decade of the 1960's ] . i presume that we cannot just pick "decade" and leave the "of" construction
