Much lesser is wrong, so you can eliminate A,C, and E. You can say much less, or much lower but not much lesser. In this case, much less would not have been correct because we're talking about the price of a car, so we use much lower or much higher for the price.
B is correct because it uses "you", which is consistent with "your" in the nonunderlined portion of the sentence.
