Option C: resulting in the welfare program now costing about 3 billion real dollars less to implement than it did

In such comparison structures the verb in the latter part is usually ellided.
The problem here is that 'did' must stand for a verb, while 'costing' is not really a verb.

Correct idiom is "as a result of". Of is missing, even that is can correct.
