(B) the United States' and nearly double what the Japanese exports were
(C) the United States exported and nearly twice as much as the Japanese did
(D) what the United States did and nearly twice as much as Japan's exports

Hey Sungoal, the answer to this question is C. But, can you be bit more specific with your question. Which part is troubling you ?

As far as comparison goes.. Correct comparison is made between United states/Japan and European Economic community

We should look for parallelism.

Here EEC exported - past tense
US did - past tense
Japan's exports - Possessive Noun

choice C is the only one of these which uses the correct tenses:
exported, exported, did

Choice D also uses Possesive Noun
