C. a greater proportion than they have been - We are talking about a greater propotion which is refering to the spending. Television costs only contributed to that extra spending. So it is impossible to use they.

For your 2nd question, the correct unambiguous way of putting it is
The value of shares rose 20% more in May than it DID (rose) in june.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)
